I started Spooky Solomons as a way to tell the history and lore of Solomons Island. I did a lot of research and interviews to come up with an engaging way to educate people about how amazing Solomons is.
With that same attitude, I volunteered to lead the annual Solomons Island Fourth of July Celebrations. This was a lot more work than I expected. (And a lot more politics than I expected!) But it is coming together and in just a few days, 75,000 people will visit our little island to listen to awesome music, visit the shops, taste the food from amazing restaurants and vendors, and watch the best fireworks show in the area in one of the most beautiful settings.
I couldn't have done this without our sponsors who donated so generously. Most were extremely kind and supportive. I also couldn't have done this without Brandi Marie and Robert Jeffers. They are so awesome! And of course, a shout out to Vandy Young for her advice and dedication. I also want to thank the Calvert County Government, Calvert County, Maryland and in particular Hilary Dailey for your support, advice, and patience as I figured out what I didn't know!
I hope to see you all down there. I will be manning the Solomons Business Association tent near the gazebo.
Happy Independence Day!!
