events: Polar Bear Plunge 2010 - 03/15/10 12:59 PM
The 19th Annual Polar Bear Plunge to benefit Special Olypmpics took place Sunday, March 14 at Rehoboth Beach.  The Plunge was originally scheduled for early February, but one of the winter's blizzards made postponement necessary.  2,323 polar bears raised over $500,000 for this very special cause.  Governor Markell was among the plungers, and thousands of onlookers provided warm moral support for the braver participants.  For more information and photos, log onto http://www.plungede.org/.  (Just one more factoid...water temp. Sunday was a bracing 42 degrees!)

events: Rehoboth Christmas Parade a Huge Success - 12/08/09 07:45 AM

   
  
 
 
 
 
 
Need I say more?  The parade was great fun, as you can see.  Traditions like the parade and the tree-lighting ceremony really give Rehoboth that warm, "Hometown" feel, as opposed to the resort destination by which we are known by many in the summer.  By the way, if you missed Santa in the parade, you can visit him in his house on the Boardwalk at the end of Rehoboth Avenue the next two weekends, Saturdays from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.  And if you're looking for … (0 comments)
