4th of July Smilin Jakes

 

 
Greetings!  

Getting Ready for the 4th.
Main Street Windows
  If you've never been to Rock Hall for the 4th of July, then you need to drop everything, pack up the car and set the GPS for Rock Hall, Md. The 4th of July is a big deal here to both the residents and visitors alike.
 
If you're lookin' for the bright lights of the big city you won't be happy because we do it the old fashion way. Parades with lots of fire trucks, horseshoe tournaments, a breakfast at the American Legion, fireworks, plenty of good old eastern shore cooking and then cap it all off with a day to honor our waterman. It all makes for a 4th the way it was meant to be honored.
 
This year the people have spoken and Rock Hall was voted #2 for the best 4th of July celebration on the Bay and all capped off with our spectacular fireworks display accompanied with patriotic music which is preceded by the "Naval Jazz Band" This spectacular display is brought to you by Art & Mary Sue Willis along with their family and employees of Sailing Emporium & Durdings. The money is raised through the generous donations from residents and visitors alike with all leftover money going to the RHVFD.

For that we all thank you.

What you might not know about the Rock

 Dips in 2009
Lets start with everyone's favorite ice cream parlor "Durding's", they're servin' food. Lite fare, just the type of thing you would expect in an old time ice cream parlor; sandwiches to include fresh turkey, crab cakes and a "child proof" hot dog? You've got to check it out. LINK 
 
 
Wine bottle and glasses animatedOK, you just finished dinner, you're not ready to call it a day and it's too early to go out and party....how about sitting back with a good glass of wine to chill out. Then it's time to check out Java Rock, along with the great panini's you're accustomed to getting, you can kick back with a great glass of wine and relax on their deck. That's right, wine by the glass. LINK 
 
 
man playing guitar animatedIt's Thursday night, Net flix hasn't delivered & the rabbit ears just aren't cuttin' it, you've read "A Pirate Looks at 40" 3 times, so, before you shoot 3 holes in your freezer; jump in the car and drop by Fords Seafood just outside of town. Starting Thursday "Blake Thompson & Kate Russo" will be appearing every Thursday night throughout the summer at 7:00 PM. Ford's LINK

Fishin' anyone? For those not it the know "River Rock" moved their in town store to the waterfront. Go figure, an outdoor & tackle shop right on the water. You can pull right up front by boat, grab what you need and your back on the water. NEED wheels, they just started a bicycle rental, you need to stop by and check-em out. LINK
