Just announced: The prize money for this year's pre competition paint out on Tilghman Island has doubled to $1,000!! I attended a meeting with the wonderful Cassandra Vanhooser of Talbot Tourism and the dynamic duo of the Bay Hundred area, Mary Kellog of the Tilghman Island Waterman's Museum and community leader Doris Nielson where we strategized how to make this year's "Paint Tilghman Island" day even better than last year!! Exciting plans were made; more details to come....
