Bowers Beach Maritime Museum, Bowers Beach, Delaware
Mary Anne Vavala and Judy Martin at the Bowers Beach Maritime Museum, and some of the exhibits inside. It recently reopened, and I could tell it was really a labor of love for these ladies and the community. The sign was generously donated by Naamans Creek Carved Sign Co. of Avondale, PA.
The museum sometimes holds events to help raise funds to maintain the building and pay their operating costs – if you have a chance, stop by and see them this weekend and buy a hot dog – they should be selling them during the parade festivities.
They also have an event that’s called Big Thursday (I never did figure out why) on Sunday, August 9th. From the flyer they gave me:
Watch the parade at 11:30 (or march with us)
Milford Community Dixieland Band
First state Harmonettes
Nanticoke Indians
Car Show
Rock Wall Climbing
Food (including oysters and crabs)
Craftsmen, Games, Exhibits at the State Park, North Bowers, DE
11:30-4:30
Information: 302-335-1556
Don’t forget Big Thursday this Sunday. How you can come and bring lots of folks with you.
