I think the one down in Solomons is open. Well, after this it probably won't be. 👿

It was open on Sunday...
The boardwalk and roads down here in Solomons have turned into a national park. You can tell how busy it is based on the # of cars parked up by Bunky's & Willie's boat rentals. In all fairness, most people shift left or right when approaching others to keep distance.

The mom & pop business in Chesapeake Beach Maryland that sells kettle corn to locals including shops, "Kettle Corn", is selling 4 ounce bottles of "hand sanitizer" for about 9 dollars. Quite a remarkable upsale if you ask me. Entrepreneurship is what this fine Country is made of and while I question no businessmans tactics, I do find this mark up in the critical time in our lives quite offensive.
If my incessant rambling is offensive to you, by all means, notice the mistletoe attached to my coat tail, have a good day and place my status in your registry as "ignored member".


How do you know what his markup is?

Maybe just maybe, he had to overpay just to have a product that his customers need right now and is just making a reasonable profit.

I’m running very low on the Salted Caramel Shine Kom recommended. Are they open for visits?
When we were there, they were selling their products, not hosting any tastings though. I believe they open Thursday thru Sunday. Check out their facebook page.
