(Sept. 29, 2016) Because of weather problems in the past, this year’s Pocomoke-toberfest is moving to the fairgrounds, where both indoor and outdoor venues are available, so the important chamber fundraiser can be ready for anything Mother Nature decides to throw at it.
“One year it was too hot, and another it was like there was a monsoon,” Michelle Hickman, chamber director, said.
Should it rain or offer uninterrupted sun on Oct. 1, the fairgrounds’ shelter will come in handy, but if a perfect fall day is offered, the grounds will be open and ready for a laid-back good time.
The new location also offers another fringe benefit: the fairgrounds will be catering the event, offering its signature cheesesteaks as well as most of the regular menu items usually offered there.
Two days — tonight and tomorrow — remain to purchase advance tickets at a discounted rate of $15 through the chamber of commerce office on Market Street or online via Eventbrite.com. Only people aged 21 and over may attend the event, Hickman said.
The admission price includes a beer mug or wine glass for sampling.
On the day of the event ticket prices at the door jump to $25. Designated driver tickets are also available for $5.
“We’ll have samples from six different beer companies, along with the regular brands too,” Hickman said.
Brewers include Parsonsburg’s Tall Tales, Salisbury’s EVO, Milton, Delaware’s Dogfish Head, Cambridge’s RaR, Delmar’s 3rd Wave and Boston’s Sam Adams. The Worcester County Department of Liquor Control will be providing the wine samples.
“The admission price includes eight beer tastings, and the county liquor control department is handling the wine sampling,” she said.
Apart from the liquid entertainment, there will also be vendors, yard games like cornhole and bands.
“From noon to 2 p.m. Union Road will be performing, followed by Britt and Neil until 5 p.m. After that, Heroes 4 Sale will perform until 8 p.m.,” Hickman said.
