Locally Owned
Restaurants Join
Together The Locally Owned Restaurant Association, or LORA, was formed in 2005 by a
group of Adam's Ribs, Break Time Sports Grill and Pub, Cactus Taverna, Chef Fred's
Chesapeake Steakhouse, Flannery's Catering, Lombardi's, Market Street Inn, Old
West Steakhouse, Restaurant 213, Vinny's La Roma, Watermen's Cove and Zia's
Italian Grill are on board and are hopeful that others will soon join them.
Together these restaurants are working to emphasize the importance of local
support and to enhance the community through charitable and noteworthy
donations. LORA has recently backed events such as the Lion's Club Holiday
Basketball Classic, the Teddy Bear Brunch and National Family Day. In addition,
gift certificates have been donated to local organizations including the Joseph
House, The Leukemia-Lymphoma Hospitality Golf Classic, the Wicomico County
Rotary Golf Tournament and Relay for Life. In order to keep costs down for local patrons and provide an affordable
dining experience, all members of LORA have negotiated and take advantage of
group discounts and contracts with existing vendors and service providers. For more information on LORA or to become a member, please call Alex Bubas
at 410-543-9118.

Success with the 4th Annual Wine Festival The 4th Annual Autumn Wine Festival held October
21-22, 2006, was marked by beautiful fall foliage, comfortable autumn weather,
and record numbers of wineries, vendors and crowds! The entire Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism is
excited that the community embraced the fourth Annual Autumn Wine Festival and
made it one of the shore's fastest growing traditions. Since its debut in 2003, the festival sanctioned by the
Maryland Association of Wineries has grown in its number of wineries, vendors
and attendance. In addition, the festival has come to attract some of the
area's finest entertainment acts. With Mother Nature's cooperation and the support of local
media outlets including The Daily Times, WMDT and Clear Channel Radio, this
year's festival held at Pemberton Historical Park October 21-22 was the most
successful to date. A record setting number of people came from across Delmarva
and beyond to sample wine, enjoy live jazz entertainment and peruse the booths
of dozens of vendors. A special thanks is extended to the
more than 130 volunteers that made the event run smoothly from beginning to
end. The festival would also not have been possible with out
sponsor contributions from local businesses including Bank of Delmarva, Clear
Channel Radio, Clear Channel Outdoor, WMDT, The Daily Times, The Centre at
Plans are already underway for the fifth annual festival slated
for October 20-21, 2007. According to the President of the Maryland Association
of Wineries, Kevin Atticks, next year's event could boast as many as 20
wineries - up from 12 this year. We hope that everyone enjoyed their time spent at the
festival and will make plans to attend again next year. Please stay tuned for
further information by visiting our website www.AutumnWineFestival.org. Cheers!
