What a wonderful way, however, to spend a lifetime I believe this would be. What is the Chesapeake Bay? It is actually an estuary stretching from southernmost Virginia to northernmost Maryland having a distance of 180 miles. If you were studying about the Chesapeake Bay in school days textbook it might be described as a tidal area where ocean water and fresh water mingle. kristi.e@agentsofvalue.com (Connie Limon) Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.smarttravelreport.com/articles/766/1/St-Michaels-Food--Wine-Festival/Page1.html April 24-27, 2008St. Michaels, MarylandThe event this year will include: presentations by leading food and wine experts, recipe demonstrations, wine tastings, culinary and wine seminars, book signings and unique cuisine, wines and spirits from nationally acclaimed Chefs & Sommeliers pairing with chefs at local award winning restaurants.The 2008 St. Michaels Food & Wine Festival, held on the beautiful grounds of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, drew several thousand people, from April 24 - April 27, 2007.

The Fair was first held back in May 1822. How's that for some tradition? It first started as a “Cattle Show” and progressed to its current status as a 4-H agricultural educational fair and good old fashioned entertainment for the whole family. Local farmers compete to win the top prizes for their exhibited cattle and livestock. kristi.e@agentsofvalue.com (Ugur Akinci) Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0700
