Oh, hi there. Not much time to chat, we have SO many events coming up, I barely know where I am! I know you just scrolled down to here but scroll back up and make sure you mark down all we have going on for the next three months. Some tried and true classics and some new things. Zero excuses to not come to see us, we have something for everyone coming up.

This is coming to you a few days later than normal because of the holiday but our annual Classic Car & Jeep show was this past Saturday. Gonna predictively announce it was a huge success, LOL. Next up, our brand new Oktoberfest in the Pines...

The only area Oktoberfest celebration to feature authentic Bavarian performers, this is sure to become a community annual must-do. Food trucks, beer garden, kid and adult games with prizes, vendors, cultural info and demos. Event is free to all, although, there will be plenty of great things to purchase so bring that wallet. This awesomeness will be in White Horse Park from 1-6, Sunday, September 24.

Because we are gluttons for punishment, just two weeks later, on Tuesday, October 10, we are unveiling our innovative answer to golf tournament overload, mini golf! Head to Nick's Dino Golf on 125th at 1:30pm for the 2:00 shotgun start. Teams of two, $50/team. Several contests to get in on, prizes, mulligans, cash bar, and our soon-to-be coveted tournament trophy. The winning team can show off their mini golf prowess for an entire year by displaying the trophy and their names will grace a plaque to forever hang in our office. Loads of sponsorships to be had starting only at $50!!

Surely, they must be done. Nope! And don't call me Shirley.

What's our calendar without the always fun annual awards banquet? This year, we're heading over the bay and partnering with the Carousel on Thursday, November 9. Seems our future is so bright, we need to wear shades. So, grab your brightest garb, and shades and head east for the evening as we celebrate YOU!

As with all our events, there are vendor and sponsorship opportunities for all budgets. Links to the specific events are below. We appreciate your support and generosity in assisting us with these community-centered undertakings. No better way to get your name out there than by showing your dedication and interest in our neighborhoods.

See you SOON!

P.S. Don't forget about our Sept 21, Oct 12, and Oct 26 Business After Hours!

Forgotten 50 Distilling is creating spirits from insightful recipes to show both the quality and craftsmanship known in our area, with a contemporary style to reflect how Berlin and the surrounding area is moving forward.

Not your ordinary venue; we’re working hard to bring something different and special. The distilling and bar program will need time to grow. Craftsmanship is our strength - so we’re starting small - there’s lots to learn and time needed to hone new skills but what we will offer will pack a punch.

In the meantime, our kitchen will be producing a variety of innovative small bites and sharing plates, alongside some larger dishes that pair well with our drinks. Offering both rural and urban styles, we’ll have coastal cooking with a little city flair and flavor.

Head Distiller, Cody, will be producing premium small-batch spirits, having the flexibility of a versatile custom-tailored still to showcase a range of boutique liquors. Collaboration is key for him and important for the team to create unique and exciting flavors that can be used in our cocktails, paired with food, and enjoyed on their own.

We’re focused on spirits so we can build a home for informed cocktail and liquor lovers while finding a place for all to have fun and share in the experience. Everything we do is relatable to our surroundings but also offers a little adventure and something new. We’ll always have one or two experiments running and we’ll be hosting various cocktail, spirit, wine, and beer events to keep things fresh for our locals and visitors alike.

Our local community is amazing all year round, but it is even more apparent during Home Instead’s “Be Santa to A Senior” season.

Starting in October Home Instead begins to receive name nominations from within the community and local facilities. The names may have a need like dish towels, bath towels, cleaning supplies, or food. These names (first only) are coded and written on an ornament where they then get displayed on one of our local businesses that host the giving trees. The community then picks an ornament, purchases the items, wraps the gift, and returns the gift (and ornament) to the location they picked up from. Home Instead Elves and helpers then pick those gifts up and get them delivered.

Last year Home Instead saw a dramatic increase in gifts, almost eight hundred gifts changed the days of seniors. As we meet needs, bring smiles, and connect our community through the spirit of giving we have set a new goal of eight hundred and fifty gifts for 2023.

We are so thankful that the Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce provides Home Instead with a gift drop-off site and they help us connect to local businesses that also wish to help us bring the spirit of giving to Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties. We are grateful for all the participation from the community as well.
