Planning your summer 2012 family trip to Ocean City Md is going to be an affordable vacation, especially when you arrive. Take a look at all the great, FREE activities that all ages can take advantage of!

Calling all baby sitters, we have a job for you! Five “OC Mammas” are going to be dusting off their running shoes to join together in participation of the FIRST ever 2012 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Ocean City, MD. Together these local Mom's are looking to raise $2,000 for their team goal! Decked out in their matching team shirts they will be walking in honor of many special people.

The goal is not only to raise the $2,000. They also are looking to celebrate the lives of breast cancer survivors they know, as well as honor the lives of loved ones that lost the fight to breast cancer. Needless to say, this event holds a spot very close to their hearts and many others who will be joining OC Mammas, so get these girls a baby sitter because it's on!

Are you looking to join the “OC Mammas”? Grab some friends and read on:

Can you believe it?! SpringFest in Ocean City has been displaying crafty goodness, feeding people with some of the best festival food this side of the East Coast and rocking those music tents for TWENTY TWO YEARS!

If you have been living under a rock the past 22 years and don’t know what I’m talking about- then this is the year for you! May 3-6th the festival will kick off with the Fabulous Hubcaps. Their high-energy tribute music is one of the most popular bands in the Tri-State area, they are the oldies kings and queens! Then Saturday is a personal favorite, Mrs. Loretta Lynn. She is just a doll! Eddie Money and Survivor will also be playing that night, so it's going to be an amazing show!

In the craft tents you will find all the coolest didn't-know-you-needed-that items. From flip-flop fly swatters to gorgeous iron sculpted lawn art, you will come away with perfect presents and home decor.

AND THEN your certainly going to have to eat! I always go straight for the corn crab chowder- its just an Eastern Sho' staple. My grandfather however (they travel from the Baltimore area every year for this) goes for the much more riskier alligator on a stick! How fun is that?!!

So do yourself a grand service and visit the four big top tents this May for 2012 SpringFest. You will find me- chowder in hand!

The 2012 Ocean City Seaside Boat Show included bass boats, pontoon boats, offshore fishing boats and accessories from 200 dealers and exhibitors from all over the east coast. All proceeds from the event benefited the Ocean City - Berlin Maryland Optimist Club Youth Foundation.
