Chili Chowder Madness! It's that time of the year again. That's right, it's time for the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May's Annual Cape May Chili Chowder Challenge on March 10th from 1-4pm! It's insane to have all that tasty goodness in one place! For $5, you can work your way from one end of Marq's Pub (at the Marquis de Lafayette) to the other sampling chili and chowder from restaurant chefs and home cooks (from 1-4pm). The event is a benefit for Cape May food banks. Celebrity judges will pick the best chowder and chili. Will Chris Shriver at The Depot maintain his reign as Best Pro Chef Chowder & will Jim Cutshall take home the Home Cook title once again? There is only one way to find out! Be there and be hungry! __________________________________________________________________

Former model turns passion for art
into business in Cape May
by Brian Ianieri, Press of AC
Patricia Rainey has merged her abilities as an artist with her decades of experience as a businesswoman. Rainey, who lives in the North Cape May section of the township near Delaware Bay, did not become an artist until later in life. She had been a model and spent 33 years running her own modeling agency in North Jersey while raising five children.
Then she became a self-taught artist, opened an art studio after passing the modeling agency to her daughter, and made a business of her artwork. "I really think of myself as a businessperson first," she said. There are certain similarities between owning a modeling agency, where models worked for major department stores such as Bloomingdale's, and an art studio of her work, including prints of Cape May scenes such as the iconic lighthouse at Cape May Point and quaint Victorian homes. "It's a service business. It's pretty much the same, providing people what they want," Rainey said. Read the full story here--> _______________________________________________________________ |
