this is the only thrashers i know!!!!!!! Ever wonder what happens to all those pumpkins that don’t get bought by Halloween? In Lewes, they end up as fodder for a unique competition, the “Punkin’ Chunkin’,” in which the helpless gourds get launched hundreds, even thousands of feet through the air by a variety of mechanical devices. Thousands turn out for the event, which is usually held the first weekend in November; for details, call 302/856-1444. REHOBOTH BEACH Fronting on the open Atlantic and just eight miles south of Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, whose biblical name means "room enough," was founded in the 1870s when church groups bought beachfront land, established the town, and extended a railroad line south from Lewes. With its small but lively Funland Amusement Park, a tidy boardwalk running along the broad beach, and only a short strip of T-shirt shops and arcades lining Rehoboth Avenue at the center of town, Rehoboth has retained a small-town feel despite the many thousands of bureaucrats and power brokers who descend upon the place during the summer, escaping the sweltering summers of Washington, D.C. The town’s profusion of very good (and very expensive) restaurants includes the outrageously kitsch La La Land at 22 Wilmington Avenue (302/227-3887), a block south of the main drag. Unless money’s no object, you might prefer to feed at more humble places like Boudreaux’s BBQ, across the street at 17 Wilmington Avenue (302/226-3010). There are also the more mainstream delights of Thrashers French Fries, and sundry beer-and-burger stands along the Boardwalk.
