Memorial Day weekend is upon us, a time of year that represents the unofficial kick-off to the summer season in Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island. For so many, this holiday weekend offers a small taste of what is to come: sunny days on the beach, a walk along Garfield Parkway delighting in candy and ice cream, the family together for a barbeque, and a quiet moment to give thanks for these cherished moments.
This weekend, we will also give thanks to those that have served our country. It is because of these brave men and women that our towns continue to have the character that the earliest settlers of Bethany Beach set out to establish: "a haven of rest.” I hope that you have an opportunity to visit this holiday weekend and I hope that when you do, you find your haven of rest.
