I was a vendor at the Labor Day weekend craft show last year and do not see it in any of the events for this year. Will there be one?
Thank you
Right now there is not a craft show scheduled at the Convention Center for Labor Day weekend. Check the events calendar periodically as it may be added to the schedule once the season starts.

When will the 2012 Disney Summer of Stars event list be announced? Thanks, Tara
Unfortunately, it does not appear that Radio Disney will be returning in 2012. My kids are upset with the change, as I am sure you are. Look for them again in 2013.

Are there any sand castle competitions this summer and when are they?
The sand castle competition is part of the popular Family Beach Olympics held on the beach at 27th St. The schedule has not yet been released but in the past have been held at 6:30 pm on Tuesday evenings from June thru mid-August. We have participated often and they are a blast. Great prizes too!

Is there going to be a concert at the Convention Center
during Cruisin Ocean City Car Show this year? I haven't seen anything advertised but there has always
been something going on Saturday night there. Please
advise. Thanks so much
Not this year, no. Becaouse of the renovations going on inside the Convention Center there won't be a concert Saturday night like there was in the past. However, there will still be the vendors on the first floor and car shows and dj in the parking lot like always.
The organizers were trying to come up with someone to perform at the inlet, but as of yet they have not. Best advice would be to check the programs or the hospitality table at the Convention Center when you arrive.
The special guest this year will be "The Gator Queen" Liz Choate from the tv show Swamp People.
The Golden Touch Band will be performing at Hoopers in West OC on Saturday night at 7 pm. and is free to all cruisers.
Also, the OC Jamboree will be having a tribute to George Harrison on Friday the 18th, and a tribute to Johnny Cash on Saturday the 19th. The OC Jamboree is located on Rte. 611 just outside of OC, and you can check out the events here:
