Chef/author Barton Seaver, Steve Vilnit from the DNR Commercial Fisheries Outreach program, and Carol Bean and Mark Connolly of Pot Pie Farm will discuss the future of watermen, fishing sustainability in the Chesapeake, and how consumers can protect the environment and community.
Spring may technically start on March 20, but don’t tell the crocuses and daffodils that. The Talbot County Visual Arts Center celebrates the coming season with their spring membership show, opening Friday with a reception from 5 to 7pm. Local artist David Grafton will be judging.
