What a wonderful evening to stroll downtown Pocomoke! Clear skies, nice breeze, plenty to see and lots of people! Most of us have always been aware that there are many talented people in and around Pocomoke but Friday night gave so many the chance to see who these people actually are and how gifted they are at what they do. Whether it's painting, singing, photography or baking each individual person is greatly talented!
Finally got a chance to visit "Second Time Around". Well, they have just about everything you can think of for sale and lots to look at. I saw a few things I would love to have but just have no place to put them.
Jenny Somers had her art work on display and she has always made painting look so easy and so much fun. Learning to paint is on my 'bucket list', Jenny. Oh, and I did order a handpainted Christmas tree ornament with the Riverside Grill on it for my tree this year. Can't wait to see it!
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and a night this always gives you the opportunity to see people you haven't seen in a long time. We enjoyed immensely. Stores were filled with people and each one had their share of refreshments!
A team of police officers Pocomoke City can be proud of.
Officer Perkins, Lee Brumley ( once a wonderful Pocomoke City officer for many years and is now with Somerset County), Lt. Craven, Officer Tucker and Officer Zina Means. They made their rounds up and down the street Friday evening chatting, getting acquainted with those they did not know.
Everytime I've been to Pocomoke I've always missed the chance to go into Cole's Cakes. I like cake- especially cupcakes and Friday night, with my husband with me, this was my chance to get him to buy me some of those delicious treats everyone raves about. My photo that I took of her new painted store front turned out cummy- so I'm borrowing hers that was taken during the block party a few weeks ago.

If you haven't had any of these cupcakes please take time to drop by and purchase one. The itty bitty ones were yummy but you really do need to go for the larger ones.......Husband ate his that night. I saved mine for breakfast the next morning....yes, I did. Well, that chocolate cupcake is history and I am ready for MORE! The first thing I noticed about the cupcake, aside from being delicious, was how light it was. I'm not telling any more- just try them. Now, I did take a photo of the dinosaur cake being made but that photo came out looking like something hideous so I'll just opt to post a photo of it when the cake is decorated.
Thanks again Cole's Cakes for being so kind and helpful. Thanks for the pastry bag...will use it when I stuff strawberries!
Friday evening was fun! Angela Manos, Downtown Coordinator for Pocomoke City, deserves an applause as do all the merchants, Pocomoke Chamber of Commerce and everyone that displayed their talents.
FYI- I received a phone call late Friday night to tell me that downtown Pocomoke was still abuzz well after 9:00 with people strolling....
This is good and many of us can't wait until the next time!
Great job, Angela!
