The Caper – March 2024 Edition
Every year, I’m always amused at those folks I refer to as the Wint-iners. (Take the word Winter and merge it with Whiners) “Oh it’s so cold!” “All this snow!” In another deflating winter of 2023-2024, we had one real week of winter. Sure, it was cold-ish at times but we do live a good distance from the equator and it is Maryland. Spring will be here before you know it though, tick tock, and this month’s Caper is a harbinger of warmer things to come. The Wint-iners will grow quiet as the heat from Mom Nature growers warmer.
In this month’s Caper, Jerome sounds off about Winter and begins to get us all excited about the spring season to come. He welcomes our new Cape Recognized Organization: Cape Vibes. The group consists of 97% Cape residents of all ages and musical abilities gathering to play music. We’re thrilled to have them. Jerome also mentions a ton of important upcoming Cape dates so be sure to check them out.
