9th Annual Peace, Love & Horseshoe Crab Festival!            Canceled
 

Unfortunately due to some coastal flooding issues, a saturated parking lot, and the forecasted rain with 10-20 mph winds tomorrow, we will be canceling this year’s Peace, Love & Horseshoe Crab Festival. We are hoping for better weather next year and hope that you will still stop in to see us sometime this summer!
