Heat Doesn’t Keep Chick-fil-A Out of the Kitchen
When Rebuilding Together Kent County’s Executive Director, Genevieve Croker, first got a call from Chick-fil-A Regional Facilities Manager, Kevin Hiden, she wasn’t sure whether she’d be able to accommodate their volunteer group. Kevin, who has a home near Rock Hall, had been chatting with a local friend, Cathy, about his company’s commitment to giving back and wondering if there was a nearby nonprofit that could be a good fit.

Orioles Rookie Who Had A Hot Start Needs A Reset In The Minors
Colton Cowser got off to a scorching start during the 2024 season. However, since his incredible first month, his performance has been subpar. Taken with the fifth pick in the 2021 MLB draft out of Sam Houston State University, Cowser was a surprise pick. Despite being an under-slot selection, Cowser made his big league debut two years later in 2023. Although he went just 7-61 in his first taste of the MLB, Cowser remained a highly touted prospect. Cowser made the opening day roster for the Orioles in 2024 and had an incredible first month, becoming a rookie of the year front runner. But Cowser has cooled off since his great start, and a trip back down to Triple-A Norfolk may help him get back on track.
