Meet the Towns: 

A Successful Event Bringing Caroline County Together

The Caroline County Chamber of Commerce is 

thrilled to report the success of our “Meet the Towns"

event! Nearly 70 attendees gathered on 

Wednesday, October 9, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 

11:00 AM at Greater Impact in Greensboro, MD, 

enjoying a unique opportunity to connect and 

engage with our community.

The event saw representatives from the governor's 

office, the Maryland state comptroller’s office, 

Senator Mautz, and Caroline County Commissioner Breeding, alongside leaders from our vibrant towns of Denton, Preston, Federalsburg, Greensboro, 

Ridgely, and Goldsboro. Each town’s leadership 

shared valuable insights about their roles, 

upcoming events, and other significant information, 

in a dynamic round-robin format.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who 

attended and contributed to making this event a 

great success. The shared insights and open communication have 

indeed strengthened our community bonds.

Special thanks to Greater Impact for letting us use their venue, BBSI and Caroline Economic Development Tourism office for sponsoring our coffee and treats from Craft Bakery.

Stay tuned for more Chamber events that will bring Caroline County closer together. 

Your participation and support are what make these 

initiatives truly impactful.

talented chefs, 40 vibrant vendors, Big 

Truck Brewery, and an array of wonderful sponsors. Amidst the sea of delectable 

mac and cheese creations, it was Chef 

Tahya Jones who emerged victorious, 

earning the Big Cheese title for the second year in a row!

Hosted at the Chesapeake Culinary Center, the event saw a fantastic turnout, with attendees tasting and voting on their favorite cheesy dishes. 

Chef Jones’s unique blend of flavors and culinary skill won over the crowd, securing her the top spot.
