We are so appreciative of our sponsors. Of course we solicit advertisers and often we are approached by companies and organizations to help spread their message. What you may not know is that we are very particular and we do not accept advertising from just anyone.  We truly support local businesses and believe that they are the core of a vibrant economy. We also believe that these advertisers are the cream of the crop (of course they have exquisite taste in advertising as well) and encourage you to support them, click their ads and check them out.

HOMESTEAD GARDENS--Homestead is one of the most community oriented businesses you will find. In addition to their business, they support the local Boy Scouts, the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, and much more!

ZACHARY'S JEWELERS--A staple of Main Street for decades and more recently Severna Park. When they suffered a fire, the community came together for them. And they have been giving back ever since. If you are downtown on Sunday, swing by at 1:45pm for some free Baklava and a special surprise--you won't be disappointed!

RAMS HEAD ON STAGE--From a small bar to a multi location entertainment conglomerate, Rams Head offers it all. Fine foo and the best entertainment in the area. They will be bringing the Silopanna Music Festival to the area in August! We respectfully request that the hurricane gods smile down on Silopanna this year!

WILD WILLY'S --Located on the outskirts of town next to the Annapolis Towne Centre is Wild Willy's. Annapolis is in need of a good sports bar and this place fills the bill. But more importantly, Willy (yes there really is a guy named Willy) is always willing to offer up the venue to support local fundraising efforts!

THE CITY OF ANNAPOLIS--Yes, despite our editorial criticism at times, they are sponsoring us with their Circulator Trolley initiative. If you are unaware of the FREE trolley, you owe it to yourself to check it out (click the ad). Discounted parking at Knighton or Park Place and a free ride around town--soon to come to Eastport!

CHESAPEAKE BAY TRUST --They are smaller than the "other" organization, but have no problem getting their boots dirty and really making a difference in the health of the bay. Just recently, they were the recipient of a Groupon deal where pledges went to removal of trah from the Bay. Now that's something we can all get behind!

FLOYD'S BARBERSHOP--OK, so they are a national chain of uber cool barber shops. But did you know they had their start in Bowie? Yes, three brothers developed the concept and ran with it. Now they are well represented here in the County with stores in Annapolis and Crofton.

SONIC --Also a national chain, but owned by a Davidsonville resident. Sonic was long awaited and from the looks at the lines, much appreciated. As summer approaches, stop by their Edgewater location and try one of the custom blended ices. It is the perfect addition to a hot summer's day!

SCHOONER WOODWIND--Annapolis is a sailing town and there is no better way to see it than from the water on the deck of one of the Woodwinds. If you own your own boat, it's better--no work! The Woodwinds offer specialty sails, group sails, and a romantic boat and breakfast package. Check it out!

MIDDLETON TAVERN, OBRIEN'S OYSTER BAR, OB's PRIME, AND ANNAPOLIS UNPLUGGED --These are the quintessential Annapolis dining establishments run by the the Hardestys who have been in Annapolis for generations. Annapolis Unpplugged is a series of very local (and upcoming) live music brought into their restaurants--often coupled with a WRNR event! THe food is consistently great as is the service.
