Well folks, bike week has been here and gone for another year. For those of us that were in town, it was a bit noisy but never the less, it appears that all attendees had a great time.
The next 4 days are the most popular and fun filled days of the year here in Ocean City, SUN FEST. That’s right, the celebration that brings our summer season to an end opens today at the inlet parking lot.
If you haven’t been to Sun Fest in the past, you may want to consider spending a day or two or three taking it all in. There are 4 big top tents, housing a 2500 seat entertainment arena, 2 ultra large craft tents and a food tent. There is also an outdoor stage for musical entertainment and many other smaller vendor tents. Show hours are from 10-10 Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 10-6 on Sunday.
The main attraction, of course, is the entertainment (mostly free) that runs almost non stop. The feature acts require an admission fee and are nightly at 8 pm in the entertainment tent. Thursday nights lineup is “The Platters”, “The Marvelettes” and Cornell Gunters “Coasters”. All three acts for one low price. Friday Night brings Country Star “Rodney Adkins ” to the stage and Saturday winds up with the Commodores.
The free shows feature “The Shades of Blue Orchestra”, “The Key West Band”, “Sir Rod”, “Jesse Garron’s Tribute to Elvis”, “Frankie & The Pack “, “J. R. Booker”, “Randy Lee Ashcraft”, “Recreation Line Dancers”, “Rick & The Allnigthers”, “Teenage Rust”, “Shore Jazz with Holly Lane”, “Red”, “Phillips Ragtime Band”, “Poole and The Gang”, “Lauren Glick Band”, “J.D. Henley and The Shore Broke Band”, “Mary Lou & The Untouchables”, “Bob Sima”, “Kevin Kline”, “Larzine”, and the “Gridlock Band”. Now, how does that sound for a free entertainment lineup?
Sun Fest will bring upwards of 250,000 people to the beach for the four day event. Make sure you are one of those. Please don’t stay home and wish you had come.
Again, I invite you to stop by Makai Condominium at 4201 Coastal Hwy, say hello to the staff and take a personalized tour of this top of the line and low priced building. You are guarenteed to be delighted by the workmanship, attention to detail, design, furnishings and of course one of the best amenity packages in Ocean City. By the way, the Sellers have just announced that you can settle today and they will make your mortgage payments for you until June 2009. You can go to www.makaicondos.com for an overview of the building or call 410-603-2205 with and questions.
There will be many people in town this weekend so drive carefully and be sure to cross at marked crosswalks only.
