Summer is winding down and its almost time for Bluesapalooza. This Delaware Blues Fest welcomes back locals and kicks off the off-season.

The kids are back to school and the tourism has slowed down for most beaches in Delaware.

Bethany Blues of Lewes will welcome back the locals on September 20th from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The fest will be at the Bethany Blues Lewes location.

According to The Cape Gazette the festival will feature delicious barbeque, friends, and a great atmosphere.

The event raises money for a cause near and dear to our hearts at WJBR: Nemours Children’s Hospital.

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month so this event is extra special.

Raffles and giveaways will also be apart of Bluesapalooza on September 20th from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Electric Velvet will be performing in the parking lot.

The event also takes place within Bourbon Heritage Month so the spirits will be abundant.

A bourbon and whiskey collection will be on display from Bethany Blues.

There will also be additional information about whiskey tasting dinners taking place in the future.

This event does benefit Nemours Children’s Hospital.

As you know we also have events throughout the year the benefit Nemours.

Our 12th Annual Help our Kids Radiothon is coming up September 23rd and 24th!

Last year, the event raised $365,000, bringing the total amount raised over the past 11 years to just over $3.4 million. These funds are essential as we continuously provide social and emotional support to children and families to normalize the hospital experience through programs such as Child Life, Pet Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy and Palliative Care.

This year, we hope to set a new fundraising record.

New Items On Delaware Chick-Fil-A Menus

Chick-Fil-A couldn’t get anymore popular! So it’s great to see three new items on Delaware Chick-Fil-A menus across the state.

Chick-Fil-A has not been known to add many new items over the years. So this new menu item initiative is a special occurrence.  We won’t forget about the Mac N Cheese, that is a fairly “newish” item.  And how awesome is it that we can now buy the sauces at the grocery store?

The Chick-Fil-A experience is unlike any other! Super clean restaurants, great food, and every employee telling you “my pleasure.”  And please try to tell me about a drive thru line that is more efficient than any Chick-Fil-A you’ve ever been to.  I’ll wait.  There’s a reason a Texas owner was asked to help out an outdoor Covid testing line back in 2020.  No one knows how to wrangle a long line of cars better than Chick-Fil-A.

Some of these new items are being tested in certain markets and might not be available here in Delaware just YET, but keep an eye out for these new treats at your local Chick-Fil-A.

Are you hungry now?! Check out this “new age” grocery store!

  • Autumn Spice Milkshake

    According to Chick-Fil-A’s website “Hand-spun the old-fashioned way, this milkshake is autumn spice and everything nice. This limited-time seasonal offering combines Chick-fil-A Icedream® dessert with warm fall flavors like cinnamon and crunchy bits of brown sugar spice cookies. Topped with whipped cream and a cherry*, this fall treat is the perfect way to signify the season.”

    Chick-Fil-A doesn’t add many new milkshake flavors to their lineup so this is special!

  • Grilled Spicy Deluxe Chicken Sandwich

    Chick-Fil-A’s website described this sandwich as “grilled chicken marinated in a spicy seasoning served on a toasted Multigrain Brioche Bun with Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. The sandwich delivers a lighter, grilled version of a guest favorite, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. “

  • Upgraded Grilled Chicken Nuggets

    According to Eat This “Due to a mixup with the chain’s longstanding grilled chicken recipe, which inadvertently included an undeclared dairy allergen, the company will be upgrading all its grilled chicken items to make sure the questionable ingredient is left out.”

    So the nuggies aren;t exactly new just upgrade and safer for people to eat.

    Pennsylvania Has 8 Haunted Hotels That Will Give You Nightmares

    Welcome to the spooky season. Of course, there are plenty of great haunted houses and haunts in Pennsylvania, but what about some actual haunted hotels? We have those, too.

    I did some digging and found a great article via OnlyinYourState.com that names eight haunted hotels in the Keystone State. I knew we had a few, but having eight haunted hotels makes Pennsylvania the perfect state to celebrate Halloween. “If you are partial to ghost stories, haunted tales, and spooky happenings, a little paranormal activity might be just what your overnight getaway needs,” OnlyinYourState.com says in the article. “And, if you’re tired of the generic hotel experience, you’re in luck. Look no further. Below you’ll find a list of some of the most haunted hotels in Pennsylvania. Even if you don’t encounter a ghost — and you very well might — you’ll leave with some fascinating tales to tell.”

    I’m actually pretty easily scared, so a real-life ghost story would most likely scare me off from an overnight stay, unless I was with something who could talk sense into me. Either way, I really think all of these hotels look interesting- almost historical. Read on for eight haunted hotels in Pennsylvania via OnlyinYourState.com and find more information on all of the hotels here. It’s worth noting that most of these hotels don’t claim to be haunted, so there are no guarantees that you’ll run into Casper during your stay. But, it’s still a fun idea, if you’re into ghost hunting or that sort of activity.
