This episode of Coast Life is full of hometown pride and winter updates as we sit down with members of the Ocean City Elks Lodge 2645 to spotlight their 14th annual Hometown Heroes Banner Program, honoring local veterans and active-duty service members with personalized banners along the Ocean City Boardwalk. We also chat with representatives from Lewes 250 and the Fort Miles Museum and Historical Area about how Lewes is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, including special events like the “Love on the Home Front” 1940s dinner and dance. After a chilly week, Leah Rizzo and Charlie Sokaitis warm things up with a fresh round of Winners of the Week, then welcome Rachel and Dustin Parker of The Parker Group to share the biggest homebuying regrets—and how to avoid them. We meet Cecilia, an adorable 10-month-old beagle mix from Brandywine Valley SPCA who’s ready for adoption, along with helpful winter pet safety tips and upcoming events. The episode wraps with CoastTV meteorologist Chris Mastrobuono breaking down the latest coastal storm forecast, including snowfall chances, wind chills, and what Delmarva can expect this weekend.
