One of my favorite events at the festival is the Monsters on Parade. It is supposed to be on Sunday, starting with registration at 2 p.m. at the north end of the Boardwalk near the Henlopen Hotel. Parade will begin at 3 p.m. Winners of the Best Constumed Dog Contest will be announced at the Bandstand at 4:30 p.m. Please note that the parade is weather dependent.
Here are some of my 2011 pictures!!
Rehoboth Beach was cloudy and quiet today. What a difference to see the Boardwalk with just a few people.
