Controversy surrounding upcoming Jeep event Connelly Mill Rd. quarry continues

WICOMICO CO., Md. – The controversy surrounding an upcoming Jeep event in Wicomico County continues.

Safari at the Quarry has caused an uproar among residents who say they don’t want to see the event take over a property off of Connelly Mill Road. On Tuesday, Wicomico County Council President John Cannon sent a letter to County Executive Julie Giordano, demanding that she terminate the memorandum of understanding with the event organizer, Live Wire Media.

In the letter, Cannon wrote that Live Wire Media is in breach of the MOU in several different ways, including failing to obtain the necessary permits and licenses, placing the event outside of the agreed-upon area, and not properly informing nearby residents of everything that the event would entail.

Giordano’s office is pushing back, sending a letter to the council saying that their accusations are flat out wrong. She tells us that she does not believe this kind of decision is in the County Council’s purview and that at this point, she has no plans of terminating the memorandum of understanding.
