Patriot Day Celebration at Windmill Creek Winery sees honoring of 9/11 Victims, fundraiser for current vets

BERLIN, Md- Windmill Creek Vineyard and Winery in Berlin is honoring those who lost their lives on 9/11 while looking to help current veterans.

The Patriots Day event saw a color guard, a lowering of the flag, and a moment of silence for the victims of September 11th. The event also featured touch- a-truck for kids, food wine, and a live band, as well as charity raffles for the Fallen Outdoors foundation, which helps veterans on the eastern shore go on outdoor trips and activities free of charge.

“My husband and I are veterans, so we wanted to have this event and give a chance to the younger generation an idea of what it means to serve your country, and community, and get them to see all the first responders that are here,” said Windmill Creek owner Jeannie Mariner. 

The event was cut short by rain, but Mariner tells us they plan to have a second chance fundraiser featuring outdoor events, raffles, and lawn games Friday, September 16th.
