REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – On June 27, 2019 the Rehoboth Art League hosted a Patron Party for the 2019 Cottage Tour homeowners, sponsors, patrons and volunteers who make the annual tour a great success. The catering was donated by Food by Design and the 180 attendees were an indication of just how popular this tour is. Featured artist Rosemary Connelly presented attending homeowners with the framed original watercolor painting of their home. She also presented the Rehoboth Art League with an original painting of the campus’s historic Peter Marsh Homestead, which is always a highlight of the Cottage Tour.
