The New Pocomoke City Mini Park

This eyesore of a corner lot in downtown Pocomoke City has had a true makeover!  Angela Manos, Downtown Coordinator for Pocomoke City has done an amazing job with sprucing up downtown Pocomoke in the short time she has been there. 

In fact, I'd say, Pocomoke City has had a makeover!

Great job, Angela and everyone involved.

FARMERS AND FLEA MARKET

 EXTENDED TO SATURDAYS

Downtown Pocomoke City

Visitors to the eastern shore will want to be sure to stop by the ever-expanding Pocomoke City Farmers & Flea Market.   Due to popular demand, Pocomoke City announced that it will add an additional day to its Farmers & Flea Market.  The well-attended outing has been growing for the past several years, and as a result, the city is now opening the event on Saturdays, while maintaining the regular Friday schedule.

In addition to the usual offering of fresh local produce and abundance of costume jewelry you might find at similar venues, Pocomoke’s market hosts a wide variety of unique items, like fishing equipment, hand-carved birds and knives, Civil War relics, and wholesale homegrown plants, shrubbery and flowers.  Visitors will also find a plethora of used books, tools, electronic equipment, quilts, toys, clothing, and accessories, including Vera Bradley handbags.

Rick Fish, of Rick Fish Antiques & Decoys, is a regular vendor at Pocomoke’s Farmers & Flea Market.  Rick has been a “picker” since he was a kid and a bird carver for fifty-two years.  According to Rick, Pocomoke’s size and location are desirable.  “Pocomoke’s location is beautiful and comfortable, by the river, said Rick.  “I find it an enjoyable place to sell my goods.  It is one of the safer places I come to and I have made a lot of friends here over the years.  The people are friendly and the environment is relaxing,” said Rick.  He has been in the antiquing business for thirty-one years and has been working flea markets for the past fifteen.  He is pleased that Pocomoke City will be expanding the Farmers and Flea Market to Saturdays and thinks it will bring more visitors to Pocomoke’s downtown.

Mayor Bruce Morrison said that he is excited about the plan to expand the Famers & Flea Market.  “The downtown area is one of my major priorities as mayor and something I spoke about frequently when I campaigned for this office.  The expansion will bring more visitors to our beautiful downtown area,” he said.    

Beginning Saturday, July 9,

 Pocomoke City’s Farmers & Flea Market

 will be open from 7:00am until 1:00pm. 

This is in addition to the same hours on Friday. 

The event is free to both the public and vendors. 

Vendors pay no fee and set-up is on a first-come-first-serve basis. 

The market is held at: 3 Market Street, in the downtown historic district of Pocomoke City, across the street from the Delmarva Discovery Center, and next to the Nature Trail on the Pocomoke River. 

Coordinator Hired To Promote Pocomoke

Alot of Pocomoke citizens are looking forward to seeing what ideas Ms. Manos has for promoting Pocomoke!

Written by

Jennifer Shutt

POCOMOKE CITY -- During a recent municipal election, the question of how to revitalize downtown and attract new investment was a hot-button issue.

Now, for the fiscal year that started July 1, Pocomoke City has hired a downtown coordinator who will work part-time to promote what the city has to offer and hopefully attract new merchants.

Angela Manos, a government and public relations specialist with 20 years of experience, will work with downtown businesses, nonprofit organizations and property owners to enhance Pocomoke City, the city government announced.

"Her experience and interest make Angela a great fit for the private-public partnership Pocomoke City has been building upon," City Manager Russell W. Blake said.

Manos will work in a part-time capacity during the next year making $15 an hour, according to Blake.

Before coming to Pocomoke, Manos worked in the Transportation Security Administration following the Sept. 11 attacks. She worked as codirector of development for the agency's first public education campaign for federalization of the nation's airports.

Manos has also worked for the Department of Homeland Security and for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

"In my previous experience I worked a lot with government relations and public relations," Manos said. "Now I'm promoting the Eastern Shore and Pocomoke City. It's a different subject matter, but still falls within my experience."

Manos has already expanded the Farmers and Flea Market to Fridays and Saturdays, instead of only Fridays. She said the growing number of people attending, as well as vendors and buyers voicing support for a two-day market, fostered the expansion.

During the next year, Manos plans to promote a family atmosphere within the community by creating and enhancing several events. She also hopes the opening of a restaurant next to the Delmarva Discovery Center, built on spec by the town government, can bring and keep people downtown.

"(The new restaurant) is going to be a major thing," said Mayor Bruce Morrison. "But in order for the restaurant to succeed we have to have other events and businesses downtown to attract people."

Although an opening date has not been set, Manos said she hopes the restaurant will be able to serve a variety of cuisine at varying prices.

"We do want to make it affordable to people in the area, while still offering nice cuisine," said Manos. "We are hoping to draw in some of the boaters, who can tie up and come in to get a sandwich during the day."

Manos is not the first downtown coordinator to work in Pocomoke. The position existed until three years ago, when it was eliminated by then-mayor Michael McDermott and the council at the time.

"We didn't have the money to put someone in that position until now," Morrison said . "We thought it was very important to add this position."

The job is expected to remain part-time for the foreseeable future. Morrison said if budgets allow it, he would like to eventually make the position full-time.

"We are going to wait it out and see how things go," Morrison said.
