On Sunday, February 7th, between 12 noon and 5 pm, Salon Milton will hold its annual benefit for the Milton Historical Society. Last year I had great fun filming the day’s events with my Flip Video camera. It was one of my first and you can watch that video here Fun Fundraising in Milton!.
Salon Milton, located at 517 Chestnut Street in Milton, marks its fourth year of operation on the same day and it promises to be a fun event. The salon offers hair cuts, manicures and a bake sale – all to benefit the Milton Historical Society. Casa San Francisco benefits all winter long from canned food that you drop off at the salon.
To schedule yourself for a hair-cut or manicure please call ahead at 302-684-1880.

It’s that time of year again! Antiques in Milton, my favorite antique shop on Union Street has put together the 2nd Annual Antique Show to benefit the Milton Historical Society. Last year, I found some wonderful items including an ornament tree that will come out again for the holidays.
This show is just one of the reasons Autumn is my favorite time of year in Coastal Delaware. Look for the show right next to the Lydia Cannon Museum, 210 Union Street, Milton, Delaware.

Saturday, September 12th, from 4 – 8 pm, you don’t want to miss the Annual Best of Milton Auction and Party. This year, the Party will be held at the Milton FireHall, located right in the heart of town.
Milton Historical Society
Every year there is wonderful artwork, antiques and unique items available at both the silent and live auction. Last year, all I can say is that Bill and I could not walk home with our purchases! We always find things we just can’t live without and it’s for such a great cause. The Milton Historical Society brings out the best in this small town.
Then, on Saturday, September 19th, the place to be is the 2nd Annual Historical Society Antiques Show on the grounds of the Historical Society. Organized and promoted by Matt Grieg, owner of Antiques in Milton, this show looks like another successful event in Milton that is destined to become an annual event.

MILTON, DE - Written in 1594, this is British farce at its best. A romp in the woods leads fools, fairies and star-crossed lovers from riotous confusion to the inevitable happy ending. Lysander loves Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius, by whom she was once courted. Demetrius thinks he loves Hermia. Hermia knows she loves Lysander, but is being forced to marry Demetrius. All the young people escape to the woods outside Athens where their problems grow when they cross the paths of feuding Titania and Oberon, the King and Queen of the fairies.
The Historic Milton Theatre is right in the heart of town. This is the first time that a Shakespeare play has graced the stage but there is something going on almost all the time. For tickets or more information, call (302) 684-3400, or toll free at 1-800-838-3006. Tell them Kathy and Bill told you to call!
Remaining performances are July 31, August 1, and 2, 2009. Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 8 pm. Sunday matinee begins at 2 pm. Tickets for the event are $18 for adults, and $15 for students 18 and below, and seniors 65 and above.

Not everyone moving to Delaware is getting ready to retire. The growth of the Baby Boomer population is causing an explosion in businesses and industries that provide services we will need as we age. The Health Care Industry is one that is growing by leaps and bounds as our local hospitals recruit new doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.
To the east of Milton is Lewes, Delaware, home to Beebe Medical Center, only about a 10 – 15 minute drive from the heart of Milton. Beebe has been on a major expansion for several years now and they are opening outpatient facilities inland.
This is a benefit to the towns of Milton, Millsboro and Millville, three of the towns in Coastal Delaware that are also seeing tremendous growth in their populations.
To the north of Milton is Milford and Dover, Delaware, two locations of BayHealth which is also expanding into the town of Milton and surrounding areas. BayHealth is recruiting doctors and other health professionals and many of them find that Milton is a great town in which to live. It’s close to the hospital but it is also close to the resort areas of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. I’ve always thought it made the most sense to live where I’d like to be when I am not working.
This month I have two settlements in the town of Milton and both buyers are relocating to join BayHealth! From what I hear, it is just the beginning of more newcomers that will be calling Milton, Delaware home.
