Pocomoke City, MD — Tickets and sponsorships are now available for the Flannel Formal, the annual celebration of land conservation held each year to benefit the Lower Shore Land Trust, this year commemorating their 35th Anniversary! To celebrate this special occasion, the Land Trust will honor one of its founders, King Burnett, with the esteemed Stephen N. Parker Conservation Legacy Award, presented annually to recognize a landowner or conservation practitioner for their contributions to private land conservation on the Lower Eastern Shore. Past recipients include Charles “Buddy” Jenkins, Larry Leese, John B. Long, Hugh Cropper IV, and Ann G. Carlson.
The event will be held on Saturday, November 8th from 3-6pm and will be held at the Cellar House Farm in Pocomoke City, Maryland, a venue with rich history known for its legends of privateering, ghosts, underground tunnels and a murder mystery, inviting intrigue and curiosity to all who enter.
Flannel Formal attendees are invited to wear their favorite flannel, dressy or casual, to celebrate the season. This year’s musical entertainment will be a live performance by the Seth Mitchell Band. Hailing from the Baltimore/DC/Annapolis region, they will be playing a variety of originals and covers of Bluegrass and Americana, along with other genres, sure to please all palates and get toes tappin’. Delicacies offered will be an array of artisan charcuterie, oysters on the half shell, and Pit & Pub BBQ with all the fixings. Beverages available are fine wines, craft beers, and a George’s Mixes Bloody Mary Bar. Attendees will enjoy yard games, fire pits, and bidding on silent auction items.
Tickets are $100 per person until 10/31, and $125 per person after 10/31 and at the door. Purchase tickets AND sponsorships at the Lower Shore Land Trust website, call 443-234-5587, or email mresto@LSLT.org.
All proceeds benefit the Lower Shore Land Trust, whose mission is to conserve and restore land by engaging landowners and the public to sustain the unique rural character, landscapes, environment, and vibrant communities of the Lower Shore.
