The Ocean City Boardwalk Art Show went very well! Thanks to all who came out & stopped by to say hello! We had a wonderful weekend, but, yes....it was HOT!
Many interesting things happened while there......1st was the saving of a seagull by a fireman, who had caught it's head in between the crook of the light post on the boardwalk around 9th street. We had thought it was already too late, but then soon discovered that the seagull was totally exhausted. He came down in the hands of a OC fireman & left in the safety of an enclosure for rehabilitation.
Later there was a man who was freaking on his son, in front of his family as well as everyone on the boardwalk, using foul language, screaming, when a woman grabbed this man by his shirt sleeve as he began to walk away and gave him a piece of her mind. This woman was a hero! This man was way out of control & his family, especially his son, was being verbally abused. I pray he gets the help he needs.
There was also a woman who had a battle of wills with her 2 year old named Holly. I could relate with this little girl as I also was a strong willed child. Anyway you look at it, threatening to leave your 2 year old on the boardwalk 9:00 in the morning because she is having a meltdown is not the answer. Mom was maybe 75 - 100 feet away & was, in my opinion, way too far. Dad finally came as Mom walked way away, picked little Holly up & left. 2 is tough, we all know that.
Then on a brighter note, there was a little old couple dressed in the Victorian era that was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time! How refreshing it was to see a couple dressed as they were, looking totally in love, strolling down the boardwalk without a care in the world! I can't figure out how to upload from facebook so you can see the images, but if you go to my page, you can see them!!
Thanks again to all who strolled the boards & checked out the art....it's important to all of us who are trying to keep the arts alive!
