Don't forget that if you are in the area of southern Delaware on Saturday, November 5th I'll be at the Rehoboth Art League's Holiday Fair. "Why would I be in the area?" you ask. One good reason is because the World Championship Punkin Chunkin is happening nearby at the same time. Art, crafts, giant cannon loaded with pumpkins, mythbusters... All of this awesomeness happening in such a small state begs the question, how could you NOT escape for a weekend and be here?
