Pool Party Goes Out with a Bang
The hosts of the 6 Futcher Pool Party benefit for CAMP Rehoboth say this year’s July 4 weekend event was the last one. If that is indeed the case, then this year’s event went out with bang, and in the process set a record for the event by raising over $14,000 for CAMP Rehoboth. The pool party hosts, as usual, know how to throw a party, and a good time was had by the more than 600 guests. ▼

Ultraviolet Disco Day-Glo Sunrise
When the doors open and the crowd floods the 32nd Sundance on Labor Day weekend at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center, the first thing everyone does is look up. “It’s impossible not to,” says Sundance founder and event chair Murray Archibald. “The lights, the decorations, the auction displays, the 10-foot tall flower arrangements! I love to watch people taking it all in.” This year’s theme: Sundance 2019: Rainbow XXXII—Ultraviolet Disco Day-Glo Sunrise promises visuals that are more spectacular than ever. “Think of the colors in a sunrise,” Murray says, “the pinks, reds, oranges, and yellows—plus the deep blues and purples of the sky. I’d love it if everyone wore day-glo colors!” Tickets, ticket packages, and all Host and Sponsor-level packages are available at camprehoboth.com. ▼

Race, Dance, Repeat
The weekend before Sundance 2019 is the perfect time to burn calories in preparation for all night dancing at CAMP Rehoboth’s biggest party of the year. On Sunday, August 25, racers can participate in either a 5K run, one-mile walk, or half-mile swim offered at the Sundance Land and Sea Racing Festival. Make it a biathlon (half-mile swim and 5K run) and earn endless bragging rights. All races begin on the beautiful Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. Is there an afterparty? Of course, back at CAMP Rehoboth Community Center with bloody marys, craft beer, grub, and more. ▼
Queens of Country—Pie Ladies Descend on Rehoboth Beach
One sure sign of the July 4 holiday is the annual visitation of the Pie Ladies to Rehoboth Beach. This year the Ladies arrived in their finest Queens of Country attire, and the fun never stopped. Thanks to the Jolly Trolley, the Pie Ladies showed up for the 16th time to dish out pies (and the dirt) all over RB. The 2019 cast of characters included Loretta Lynn (Grant Oines), Shania Twain (Alex Acres), Taylor Swift (Brad Benkoski), Dolly Parton (Jonathan Lockerby), Carrie Underwood (Dennis Shine), Patsy Cline (Leon Vignes), Faith Hill (George Southworth), and Reba McEntire (Derek Friday).
