As a young girl she watched as her grandmother and her father raised their families in the friendly atmosphere of their country store, Buehler&amp;rsquo;s Market in St. Leonard. She says that this experience taught her the fundamentals of customer service. &amp;ldquo;While I was in college, I lived just outside of Washington, but I missed the small town feel of Calvert County, &amp;rdquo; says Maria. So she returned to purchase the country store from her Grandmother&amp;rsquo;s estate 3 years ago.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Maria keeps Buehler&amp;rsquo;s Market open for business 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As a business owner, she has witnessed the plight of the homeless and underprivileged in our community, helping out whenever she can. &amp;ldquo; I am running for Queen of Mardi Gras because its an opportunity for me to give back.&amp;rdquo; Maria&amp;rsquo;s father, Pat Buehler, was also committed to public service, as a former Calvert County Commissioner and trustee to the Koenig Charitable Trust. &amp;ldquo;My goal is to live my dad&amp;rsquo;s life, to be really involved in the community.&amp;rdquo; Maria has organized many fundraising events, including wine tastings at the Buehler&amp;#39;s Market Wine Store, and collecting tips as a guest server at Stoney&amp;#39;s Seafood House and Jake &amp;amp; Al&amp;#39;s Chophouse.
