About Me: I have been coming to Ocean City for my whole life since I was less than one year old. I chose my college just to be close to the beach as well as living down here while at college and during the summers. My whole family loves the beach. My kids also have turned into little beach bums and for this I am proud!
Times Visited Ocean City: 45+ days a year
What do you love about Ocean City: The beach, sunny days, warm sea breezes, reading, relaxing, enjoying God's creation, letting the waves and water wash away all stress and anxiety, eating, strolling the boards, building sand castles with my son and daughter, fishing, seashell hunts on the beach, etc. The seashore is like medicine. It takes all your stress away. From the cleansing affect of the ocean to the gentle sea breezes and warm sand below your feet. Top it off with a stroll down the world famous boardwalk!

Q: I've been scouring the web looking for vendor booth price information for springfest and sunfest. Please direct me to the right location or send the information. Is there a discount for local vendors? Thank you for your time.
A: I have talked to people who have had booths at Sunfest and also at other venues.  They have told me that although it is more expensive to have a booth at Sunfest and Springfest, they netted more income from the sheer volume of people that come through the tents.  Our company had an outside booth once.  We talked to hundred of people!
