OCEAN CITY – Resort officials this week voted to approve a monster truck event slated for next fall.
On Tuesday, Special Events Director Frank Miller presented the Mayor and Council with the term sheet for the first annual Monsters of Metal Beach Brawl to take place on the downtown beach Oct. 18-20. While the council recently voted to pursue a partnership with the promoter – The Metal Shop – to produce the fall event, Miller told officials this week the relationship between the town and Monsters of Metal had been modified.
“This was in two parts,” Miller explained. “One was to help reduce liability and risk on the town and also to help make things a little bit easier in how we manage the relationship, especially the financial aspect of the relationship.”
In December, representatives with The Metal Shop, a Delmar-based business, came before the council with a proposal to hold a monster truck event that would fill a vacant weekend on the fall special events calendar. Utilizing a portion of the Inlet parking lot, as well as the downtown beach located just north of the pier, the Monsters of Metal Beach Brawl would feature a pit area and arena, grandstands and more.
At that time, the council agreed to move forward with a partnership with The Metal Shop and to have staff draft a term sheet outlining the responsibilities of each party. In an update Tuesday, Miller said the term sheet presented included an agreement to bring the Monsters of Metal Beach Brawl to Ocean City the next three years.
