The Kind of Place Every Community Needs The heart of Preston Automotive Group has always been in the communities we serve. Every initiative we support through Preston Cares is rooted in one simple belief: when we come together, we can create something truly meaningful for the people around us. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that we recently donated $25,000 to the Can-Do Playground Project at Hudson Park in Sussex County through our Preston Cares program. A Place Where Every Child Belongs From the moment we learned about this project, we knew it was something special. The Can-Do Playground is being thoughtfully designed as a fully inclusive space where children of all abilities can play side by side. When complete, the playground will feature: Play areas for children ages 2–5 Play areas for children ages 5–12 A swing area A quiet sensory space for children who need a more calming environment For the more than 8,000 children with disabilities in Sussex County, this space will offer something incredibly powerful: the chance to simply be a kid and play without limits. Built by a Community That Cares What makes this project even more meaningful is the passion behind it. The Can-Do Playground is being brought to life by Sussex Rotary Can-Do Playground, Inc., a nonprofit formed by seven local Rotary clubs. Together with the Sussex County Land Trust, they are transforming Stephen P. Hudson Park into a place that will serve families for generations. This will be the fourth inclusive playground created by Sussex County Rotarians, each reflecting their deep commitment to building spaces where everyone feels welcome. Why This Matters to Us At Preston Automotive Group, we often say that it’s not about the cars, it’s about the people. Supporting this playground through our Preston Cares program is a perfect example of that. We believe every child deserves a place to laugh, explore, and connect. A place where differences are not barriers, but part of what makes the experience richer for everyone. This project speaks directly to that vision, and we’re honored to play a small part in helping bring it to life! Join Us in Making a Difference Moments like this remind us why Preston Cares exists. It’s about showing up, supporting one another, and helping build something bigger than ourselves. We’re grateful to stand alongside the Rotary clubs, the Sussex County Land Trust, and everyone working so hard to make the Can-Do Playground a reality.

Together, we can help create a space where every child feels they belong.

This generous contribution helps close a funding gap and ensures the beloved landmark remains a vibrant part of the Eastern Shore for generations to come. A Building Rich in History Built in 1927 as the National Guard Armory, the Waterfowl Building has served as a pillar of the Easton community for nearly a century. Over the years, it has hosted everything from political rallies and civic events to the cherished Waterfowl Festival each November, a celebration of conservation, heritage, and artistic expression rooted in the traditions of the Eastern Shore. The building continues to be a gathering place for residents and visitors alike, home to events like Plein Air Easton, the TIS Lip Sync Battle, and First Night Talbot. Its legacy is one of unity, education, and culture, making its preservation a community-wide priority. A Gift That Inspires “When the Preston Automotive Group learned of a funding gap in grant funds to make critical repairs to the Waterfowl Building’s roof, they stepped up—directing their 2025 gift to close it,” said Deena Kilmon, Executive Director of the Waterfowl Festival. “Their generosity is a powerful example of true community partnership. We are deeply grateful for this impactful contribution, which we hope will inspire others to support the restoration of this beloved landmark as it enters its second century of service to Talbot County's residents.” With deep roots in the Eastern Shore, the PAG family has long advocated for preserving the region’s cultural and environmental heritage. Our support for the Waterfowl Building restoration is both personal and community-driven, rooted in pride, tradition, and legacy. “We’re incredibly proud to support the restoration of a space that is a landmark to the town of Easton,” shares Wilson. “Supporting its restoration is about more than preserving a structure. It’s about honoring the memories, traditions, and sense of community that make the Eastern Shore feel like home.” Carrying the Tradition Forward Since its founding in 1971, the Waterfowl Festival, Inc. has raised more than $6 million to support wildlife conservation and education efforts across the Chesapeake region. From scholarships for local students to grants for conservation organizations, their mission has always been to protect what makes the Eastern Shore so extraordinary. Plans for interior renovations will unfold over the coming year, guided by community feedback and available funding. As Easton prepares to celebrate 100 years of this treasured building, the gift from Dave Wilson Sr. ensures that its legacy remains strong and its doors stay open for generations to come.
