A Great Report From Councilman Clarke

I received this great report from Councilman Rob Clarke which we both wish to share with you on the Pocomoke Citizen's Forum:

The brass band concert was absolutely great! We should invite them back again soon. A wise decision was made to move the concert into the Marva, due to the heat. As it turned out, downtown was awash with rain before the concert ended. As I said, a wise decision.What a great weekend for the Marva and Pocomoke City! Three very different live shows in as many days. Friday afternoon many local, talented youth highlighted two weeks of theater camp by presenting the play "The Secret Garden". On Saturday afternoon we were entertained with a trip down memory lane by Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower (Bill & Sue Wills). Such talented actors and what a huge amount of research went into the show.Finally this evening (Sunday) we were treated to delightful music from movie themes, to blues, marching & military themes, medleys and a grand finale of the "Stars & Stripes Forever"! In addition, we learned from the narrator what an "all brass" band is all about and what instruments are included.All shows were well attended, but not sold out. Don't miss another show at the Marva. The shows are great and the memories are wonderful. This was such a fantastic weekend at the Marva I can hardly wait for the grand opening next year.The Marva is definitely back. She has had a strong pulse for a while now and due to the hardwork of countless individuals will make a complete recovery! She will truly be a shining jewel pumping energy into downtown Pocomoke once again.And to top it all off, we had the Great Pocomoke Fair, with the horse racing, cake auction, great food and blue ribbon contest in categories from soup to nuts, animals, too.
