LEWES — The Sussex County Association of Realtors has been named the Title Sponsor for the sixth annual Southern Delaware Wine, Food & Music Festival, set for Saturday, Sept. 18 at the Independence Clubhouse in Long Neck.

Sussex County Association of REALTORS® is a REALTOR® association that provides services for Sussex County and the surrounding area REALTORS® to enhance their professionalism and success in the local marketplace.

“Realtors like to give back, so we are very pleased to be this year’s title sponsor,” said SCAOR president-elect George Thomasson.

“It’s an honor and privilege to be a part of this community-wide event,” agreed SCAOR CEO Patricia Anderson. “It gives us the opportunity to collaborate with and support the nonprofit festival beneficiaries. Opportunities such as this forge the bonds of strong connections to provide better experiences for our businesses, friends and neighbors.”

To date, over 20 restaurants and 20 wine and beer providers and entertainers are signed up to participate in this year’s festival, proceeds of which benefit the employee assistance fund of the Delaware Restaurant Association, helping servers and cooks in the wake of the pandemic, and the Developing Artists Collaborative, which is using the funds to produce a mural in West Rehoboth that celebrates the history of that community.
