This is the 10-year mark for our publication, 1998 – 2008. In that 10 years, I’ve seen businesses come and go. Some folks see that as a bad thing, but I think it’s both healthy and encouraging. First, I am a great believer in following your dream. Some folks give it a try and, for a variety of reasons, call it quits. Though it’s often blamed on improper funding, etc., I consider it a journey. Sometimes our dreams turn out to not be what we’re really searching for. But in America, we can give it a try!
We hope you’ll help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary by enjoying Havre de Grace as often as possible. Support our local shops and restaurants. Stay in one of our historic B&Bs where hospitality is their finest asset! Enjoy our festivals, parks, and waterfront.
In the meantime, allow me to pay tribute to the woman who made my dream(s) come true – my mom, Wanda Z. Mencer
