What’s Going?, Rehoboth Beach, Events, Activities, Arts, Entertainment, Delaware Beaches, 5/19 – 5/23
“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” jacque cousteau
It is so true. So many times I have met people at the beach and the first thing they say is “I have been coming here for years”, whether it has been with family or friends, the beach brings in all of us feelings of nostalgia and serenity.
Last summer on the Boardwalk
If you happen to be in Rehoboth Beach this week-end, then get ready because the town of Rehoboth has a lot to offer as the week-end approaches. I call it “a soft opening”, because the gates will open on Memorial Week-End and the season will formally open then. Once that happens, this small coastal resort will be non-stop with shopping, arts, entertainment, restaurants; the beach and the boardwalk.
Thursday, 5/19 – All You Can Eat Pancake and Sausage Breakfast and Annual Walk-A-Thon. 8:30 – 11:00 a.m. at the Cape Henlopen Senior Center, 11 Christian St. in Rehoboth Beach.
The breakfast is $5 for adults and $2.50 for children under the age of 10. Then, after eating, the 2 mile Walk-A-Thon begins on the Rehoboth Boardwalk at 9:00 a.m. That walk is great and don’t forget to touch the end of the boardwalk each way. That’s a ritual for Boardwalk walkers. I had to laugh; pancakes, sausage and then walk…or roll, that would be me.
The funds raised will be used to purchase “new” chairs. For more info. please call 302-227-2055.
Thursday, 5/19 – A Flower Show presented by the Sussex Gardeners called “A Gardener’s Palette”. It will include a plant sale and a display of artwork by the Cape Artists. 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at All Saint’s Parish Hall located at 18 Olive Ave., in Rehoboth. Questions? Please call 302-227-9194.
