Pet owners in Wicomico County have an opportunity this month to keep their furry companions safe from rabies. The Wicomico County Health Department is holding a walk-up rabies vaccination clinic for the community. The clinic will take place on Friday, May 17, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., at 108 East Main Street. The cost is $10 per pet.

The proposed Wetipquin Creek State Park, which will be Wicomico County’s first-ever state park, marks a significant investment in recreation and conservation. But according to Giordano, the $3.3 million purchase of roughly 445 acres — including the historic Long Hill estate — was exclusively carried out by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
