Leave it to the Cathell Family, owners of the US Drag Strip in Delmar to present what I feel is one of the most exciting events I have seen in many years here on the Eastern Shore.
Well thought out, well designed and loaded with support from both Maryland and Delaware, get ready for "DECORATING DELMARVA HOLIDAY FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS".
This spectacular event will allow Families from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia to take a trip through a well planned out display more than 2 miles long through different villages sponsored by a multitude of local companies, schools and civic organizations.While it will only cost $15.00 per car load, 1/3 of the funding being raised will be paid forward to our local schools. The details will be posted on a new website they are creating, http://www.decoratingdelmarva.com/.
The event will start in November and finish January 4th. Folks, I sat for 2 hours listening to Mark's presentation and it was one home run after the other. It's about time someone got so creative around here and even gained the interest of just about every business they have confronted so far. And rightfully so.
Some of us sat there during a break and discussed just how many times we've actually been to that race track. It was my first time there. Some hadn't been there in 20+ years, since they were in their teens.
Salisbury News will support this event in every way we possibly can. We will continue to keep you update with more details over time. This will truly be a magical destination and my hat is tipped to the Cathell Family for being so creative and delivering a perfect location for what we can all expect to be a great Family event for many years to come.

NICE!
are they going to broadcast tunes that can be heard through the car stereo?
anonymous 11:36, yes. As I stated in the Post, we'll be providing all the information about this over time. Believe me, there's so much to share it will take several Posts.
A very good idea in the dead of winter!
bahhhh humbug! $15 to look at lights!?!?!?! youve lost your flippin mind!
I'd rather do this then waste money on a stupid pavilion.
Brilliant idea.It costs at least $15 to go to a 3-D movie.This will entertain a whole carload for that.
11:37 this event isn't really just about looking at displays & lights, but supporting your local community. If $15 is too much for you because you are broke, then you have my sympathy & prayers, if it is too much because you don't esteem your local community worth $15 you have my condemnation.
The $15 cost is not per person BUT per car load...Making it very affordable for a family night out! Up to an 8 passenger vehicle will be admitted for $15! Aditional cost for larger vehicles...This is going to be huge for local schools, charity groups, non profit organizations, churches and volunteer fire companies! Thanks!
did this years ago with my kids and grand kids with the motor home looks like its the great and great/great grand kids time at even 30.00 is a great deal we will be there thanks
