Sorry Parents and Kids......Only Salisbury gets the funds

Children outside of Salisbury get screwed again by Recreation and Parks. Each one of these events are held in Salisbury. There is nothing held in surrounding towns.  Why if only thirty percent of the population of Wicomico lives in Salisbury do they get 100 percent of the funding with nothing left for surrounding areas. 

The same applies for the meals for children during the summer. Everything is located in Salisbury.
As of the 2010 census, the population in Wicomico was 98,733
The population in Salisbury was 30,343 at the 2010 census




Summerfest event series kicks off June 20
Free events to be held in Wicomico communities

SALISBURY, Md. – Summerfest, a new Wicomico County Recreation & Parks event series, will bring fun events to community parks this summer.

This free event series is focused on providing cool, unique themed experiences. Events will be held Thursdays from 5-8 p.m.

  • June 20: Sport Spectacular at Billy Gene Jackson Sr. Park
  • June 27: Discover STEAM at Doverdale Park
  • July 11: Splash Bash at Indian Village Playground
  • July 18: Back to Nature at Billy Gene Jackson Sr. Park
  • July 25: Movin' & Groovin' at Doverdale Park
  • Aug. 1: Bouncin' Around at Lake Street Playground
  • Aug. 15: Summer Sendoff at Waterside Park

Children can play games, socialize with family and friends, listen to good music and grab a snack.

From giant inflatable obstacle courses and water slides to kayaking, fishing, archery, robots and dance parties, there’s something fun for the whole family.

“We’re excited for the first year of Summerfest and the opportunity to bring these events to multiple communities,” said Allen Swiger, program director for Wicomico County Recreation & Parks. “Kids can enjoy fun activities, music and food – all for free. Come out and enjoy some fun in the sun.”

A hot dog, chips and a drink will be provided to the first 200 kids for free. A food vendor will be on-site with more options for adults.

You know why Salisbury gets all the funds just like everyone else does, where is the majority of black population?

The truth is, most white kids live out of Slumsbury, the funds are to benefit the black kids living in this Slum pit.

It's because there's no shame in the majority population of Salisbury. They'll take any and all free stuff Jake Day/Bob Culver wants to give them. Volunteering at several feeding ministries I've witnessed the same people showing up at different locations taking several hundred dollars worth of food from each one. This whole they ride up in a 30,000 vehicle and a couple of them employees at Salisbury university

If I were a resident of the west side of wicomico county and had school aged children I wouldn't take part in ANY of the garbage the city or county offers. You've proven that the schools in that part of the county are better and the kids for the most part seem to be better behaved. Don't let your kids be contaminated by what the rest of wicomico county is doing

Hey Allen! All for free? You are drunk on KoolAid if you believe that statement. Oh! I forgot that you are a county employee and spending local taxpayers money.

They do know that the parents of these kids are going to send the kids up there for the free hot dogs and chips and drink and bring it back to the parents, right? They know how to work it to get what they want for free. Constantly getting freebies. Or better yet, free to them. Someone is paying for this. It will be fun for them till the thugs show up for their free stuff.

They do this to get them to shut their complaining mouths. They complain that their kids have nothing to do,that's why they commit crimes(never because of their lack of parenting skills, and you know, not accepting their own responsibilities)so our glorious leaders do such as this. Wait till kid number 201 and up shows up and there are no more dogs for the parent to shove down THEIR throat. The shite will hit the fan.

The cell phones come out and it's, "You bess gets yo azz down here rat now, dis shite is fo free." Oh, I be dere, just lets me warm up the suv." Things like this are abused by them big time. I see it too. They park their expensive cars around the corner and walk in all entitled. Claiming they have it so bad. " Bless you all, you hear me, Bless you all. Then when out the door, tee hee hee. I gots mine.
