Summer time is a beautiful time in B-Town as Kent County bursts with visitors, family and friends coming from near and far. In fact this year Vermont Bike Tours will be sponsoring several Chesapeake bike vacations, the pedaling type- sorry Ben Kohl no Harley's, that will include Chestertown and perhaps an excursion to Betterton Beach. For the locals and homeowner's of B-Town it is also a time of weekend parties and they are beginning to stack up. The weekends of the 21st and 28th of July are already claimed for the annual Bayside chicks and rooster's parties respectively. Of course their is Betterton Day that first weekend in August and the Fig Fest on the 25th.
So here's a question for you, what should we do with the Fig Fest? This event brought to us by the team of Ladies Coslett and Parma has been growing in size and stature each year. Rumors have it that some B-Towners have suggested we include dancing, perhaps some line dancing led by Mauren DiStefano or perhaps our City Council members. Others have watched the Fig Fest grow and believe we should go public and utilize it as a fund raiser for the BCDC. In fact, the B-blogger has commented that we should get some local sponsors perhaps "Fresh and Green" from Chestertown that could allow us to sell T-shirts or mugs that promote Figs and the festival. So what do you think? Post your thoughts below!

not quite sure it should be a fund raiser maybe let more folks know about it so that we can mingle and get to know some folks we don't know. How about charge a cover dish and make it a huge picnic like back in the olden days of say Mayberry when the town got together and held a social.
