News

3,893 visitors signed the logs in 2004 with these numbers increasing to nearly 5,000 “sign ins” in 2005 and nearly 6,000 visitors in 2006.  129 groups and well over 19 non-profits participate at no cost – over 2,000 grade schoolers and children of all ages participated in our 3rd annual “Railroad Christmas” with spectacular model train displays, carolers and a train safety instructor provided by DelDot.  Our regular school program in cooperation with the local schools has now expanded to include a spring semester. Queries have been coming in regularly from other Sussex County schools and plans are being readied to expand this program to include a spring semester and even more in 2008.  Also we should note the  Delaware Seaside Model Train Club will be permanently set up on the Train Station’s second floor and will be available to the public on weekends after Easter.

 

Grand Opening of the 2007 Farmers Market is set for Friday, June 8.  The Farmers Market will run every Friday from 10-2 – Returning vendors are Dryden's Hotdogs/Pretzels and Olivia's Breads.  New this year are T.S. Smith and Sons, Johnson's Country Market & Delaware Provisional Retail along with several other local vendors have committed to being regulars at our Georgetown Farmer’s Market.   Keep checking as we add to our list.  Also, if you make it or grow it and want to sell it, phone Gerald Hitchens at 856-7823 to be a vendor at the market.
