Undeterred by the threat of the pop-up tuner car rally that once wreaked havoc across the resort, this weekend’s OC AdventureFest is expected to attract more attendees and make a bigger impact in its second year.
“In year two, we do have some pretty cool things going on,” Event Co-organizer Cliff Sutherland said of the outdoor sports and gun show set for Sept. 22-24 at the Ocean City convention center.
The schedule includes an array of vendors displaying and selling custom guns, ammo and knives, an outdoor sportsman show featuring performances by Delmarva Dock Dogs, hunting and fishing offerings, and live entertainment by Don McClean and Dave Bray.
Charities that will benefit from portions of ticket sales include the Hogs and Heroes Foundation and other organizations that help first responders.
Similar to last year, a custom gun will also be raffled off, with portions of the ticket sales going to the Maryland Chapter of Concerned Police Survivors. Organization members volunteer to notify and help families whose loved ones have died in the line of duty.
On Saturday, weather permitting, a memorial poker run for corporals Glenn Hilliard and Keith Heacook, who died in the line of duty in 2022 and 2021, is planned for anyone who wants to participate. The ride begins at the convention center, where most of the festival action is taking place, then moves to the American Legion Post 166 on 23rd Street, the Elks lodge on Sinepuxent Avenue, the Greene Turtle on 116th, and ends up back at the convention center. Last year, driving and walking tributes were hosted in honor of Hilliard.
Tropical Storm Warning. With more rain inland.
No one is coming, the cars were never coming yet expenses for deterrent purposes. Always wondered why the flashing billboards are neededd during bikers week. Deterring the gray beards? The manpower to remove replace speed limit signs, then do it again. Manpower 4 times a year, resources, maybe could afford a couple more part time opps. Maybe.
Weather does look well for next weekends Calling either.
