What’s Going On? Delaware Beaches, Activities, Events, Entertainment
These pooches are at Seaquels in Ocean View, Delaware
When I, actually thought that the Beaches were slowing down, taking that well deserved rest, then, all these events start popping up. You really can do as little or as much at this time of the year.
There are a few events that will take place at venues which are a few miles inland, but believe, it is not far at all.
So, if you a local, a native, resident, or visitor this is what is going on….
From the Rehoboth Beach Film Society
Monthly Screenings feature films and discussions about the various cultures in the world, including diversity in our country.
The First Grader is an uplifting biographical drama that takes place in a small, remote primary school in the Kenyan bush, where hundreds of children are jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan government. Maruge an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties struggles to gain admission so that he can learn to read at this late stage in his life.
