Hello everyone!! Happy 1st night of the Sharptown carnival!! 🎡
Just a few housekeeping things before we get started…….
Each type of sandwich from the Ladies Auxiliary cook tent has a separate line. You have to be in the crab line to get a soft crab (left), the oyster line (middle), to get an oyster or a batter, and the hamburger/hot dog line (right) to get either of those.
It has been this way for many years, but some people don’t understand that. We have posted ONLY signs with an arrow on the building below the food sign so hopefully it will be clearer to everyone. We cannot get you a soft crab if you are in the oyster line, etc.
We are trying to make it easier for our customers. Please check the signs.
Also: we are CASH ONLY. Those signs are there, too. There is an ATM in the main office.
We welcome everyone and hope to make your carnival experience a memorable one!! Come on down!!

⚠️ AIR QUALITY ALERT UPDATE ⚠️

A multi-day air quality event is expected Thursday and Friday, potentially lingering into Saturday, due to thick wildfire smoke and extreme heat driving up ozone levels.

Here is what you need to know for the next few days:

THURSDAY: A wave of wildfire smoke is pushing into central Maryland, bringing Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) conditions along the I-95 corridor. The highest concentrations will be in northeast MD. High heat and aged smoke will also cause ozone levels to reach the High Moderate to USG range.

FRIDAY: A weak cold front will usher in a significant amount of smoke that will persist all day, trapped by weak winds. Statewide Unhealthy (Code Red) AQI is forecast for fine particulates (PM2.5).

SATURDAY: Precipitation chances increase, which should help mitigate ozone levels, bringing them down to the Good/Moderate threshold. However, uncertainties remain if rain will fully wash out the fine particles.

How to Protect Yourself:

✔️Limit or avoid strenuous outdoor activities.
✔️Keep doors and windows closed.
✔️Run your AC on the "recirculate" setting.
✔️Vulnerable groups (children, older adults, and those with respiratory/heart conditions) should take extra precautions.

Check your current, hyper-local air quality before stepping out by visiting AirNow: https://www.airnow.gov/, or the Maryland Department of the Environment website: https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/air/AirQualityMonitoring/Pages/index.aspx

Stay cool and stay safe, everyone! 🌡️🌳
