I don’t know about you, but riding my bike on the shoulder of Route 1, dodging the cars and buses and motorcycles is not my idea of fun. But, cycling the beautiful, shaded Junction & Breakwater Trail is great exercise and relaxing at the same time.

“The Junction & Breakwater Trail lies between the resort towns of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach on the western edge of Cape Henlopen State Park. It is Delaware’s third and longest rail-trail in the state and one of the most important economic and fitness boosts for eastern Sussex County in this young 21st century.” Read More!

Tonight I’m meeting a friend at the Lewes end to walk to Rehoboth Beach and back again. Maybe we’ll run into you along the way?

Join the locals tonight for “First Thursday” on Second Street between 6 and 8 pm. The shops are open late and there’s entertainment in the street. I’ll be there looking for something special to wear this weekend, will you?

On Saturday, don’t miss the Historic Lewes Farmers Market on 3rd and Shipcarpenter Streets. You can find everything from great vegetables, fresh cut flowers, locally grown lamb and fresh local eggs. This is a must for good food and camaraderie.

Then, also on Saturday, head down the street and enjoy the annual Sidewalk Art and Artisans Show at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and surrounding streets.

On Sunday, JULY 4th, enjoy the games along 2nd Street for kids of all ages and the Boat Parade on the Lewes Canal around 2 pm. End the day with the “Doo-Dah Parade”, a one-of-a-kind event not to be  missed.

Of course, Lewes Beach is a great place to relax with the family – the weather forecast is Sunny and warm! Happy 4th of July!

In FOOD, INC. filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health.

Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield’s Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms’ Joel Salatin, FOOD, INC. reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

A complimentary reception featuring light, organic refreshments is included and a cash bar is available.
