Howdy, First State!
Rise and shine, it’s Monday morning.
It may be a damp start to the week and not particularly sunny outside, but we our minds are wandering to Delaware Beaches and the summer season.
We’re rolling out our Summer Guide content over the next several weeks, offering you a road map of everything from outdoor dining and beach brunch options to family-friendly entertainment options and hot nightlife updates to guides to camping, hiking, kayaking and much more. Together, we can assemble your summer bucket list.
Later this week is the Wilmington Flower Market. More on that below.
We will also continue our coverage of Delaware prom season. Look for galleries on DelawareOnline.com. We will update our prom guide as we go.
And now, more news …
50-foot fin whale beached, likely dying at Delaware Seashore State Park on Sunday
A fin whale that beached itself at Delaware Seashore State Park on Sunday morning is likely dying, reports Shannon Marvel McNaught.
“A crowd of 30 or so people watched the whale from behind caution tape erected by the nonprofit Marine Education, Research and Rehabilitation Institute around 2 p.m. Sunday. It thrashed its tail as people quietly urged it on, but made no progress,’’ Shannon writes.
