What’s Going On? Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Vacationing in the Nation’s Summer Capital, Activities, Events, Delaware Beaches
Where has the summer gone? Way too fast for many. Someone put on facebook a comment regarding the summer coming to an end. I am saying….not so fast. The Second Season in Rehoboth Beach is just beginning and when you might think that the 2012 Summer is a thing of the past, well, think again because Rehoboth Beach has so many festivals and events that it might be worth taking a trip back.
So, What’s Going On?
Saturday and Sunday, 9/1 and 9/2 – A 2-Night event for CAMP Rehoboth. It is the 25th Sundance Celebration to take place at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center, located at 229 Rehoboth Ave. in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. On Saturday there will be silent and live auctions and cocktail buffet, open bar. On Sunday, 9/2 is The Sundance. The party begins at 8 p.m. Dancing until 2 a.m. Open bar; music all night long. $80 for both events or $45 for one. Tickets are available in advance at http://www.camprehoboth.com.

Looking for some venues to listen to music? Plenty of them at all the Delaware Beaches. On July 23rd I posted Links to Music Venues at the Delaware Beaches. All you have to do is click on July 23, 2012 and enter any of the sites to see if you like whose playing.
Speaking of which. We all have favorites. Check the following:
Friday, 8/31 – Rehoboth Beach Bandstand – The Diamonds. Saturday, 9/1, the entertainer will be Mario Rocco. Both sows will begin at 8 p.m. For more info., please visit http://www.rehobothbandstand.com.
Bethany Blues – Friday (tonight) is Lionel Young Band. He was trained as a classical violinist, but he plays the blues and a distinctive brand of blues it is. He plays on the electric violin. Should be a good one. On Saturday, 9/1 The Divas of One Love will be taking the stage. 2 women that play a bit of everything; from Soul, R & B, Reggae, to Motown. Both, will start at 9 p.m. The website? http://www.bethanyblues.com

John Eddie
Don’t want to cook? I don’t blame you. It is a holiday week-end, afterall. Earl is cooking again, all week-end long at Rustic Acres Farm.
This is also the home of Rehoboth Dairy. He will have chicken and ribs, while they last. He told me they are the best and that the meat falls off the bones. You be the judge. Stop by and check them out. They are located on Holland Glad Rd. If you are coming from Rehoboth and Dewey, just turn right after Tomato Sunshine. That’s Holland Glade Rd. Then, go almost all the way to the end of the road. They will be on the left. If you are coming from the Lewes areas and points north, then you will have to turn around at the intersection of Rt. 1 and Shuttle Rd., then turn right after Tomato Sunshine.
They have local produce, like green tomatoes, red tomatoes, and melons. Earl told me his corn is the best and he gets it from Greenwood. By the way their milk is awesome!! I rave about it all the time. But, Earl also told me that his cream is unbelievable….if you like cream soups he said you won’t taste a better soup if it is made with his cream. Cows are in the back. Fresh!! I almost forgot, they serve ice cream too.
As I sat on the beach in Rehoboth on Thursday, I was watching this little boy. It reminded me of my kids. They loved the beach. This little guy was with his father. It looked like it was his first time of the beach. He was adorable.
How about the guy swimming with the dolphins right by him?
From Lewes to Fenwick Island, there are 24 miles of beach. Yours to pick and choose. The bay on the other side. The best of both worlds.
Have a great holiday week-end…..relax you are at the beach!!
