Springfest Kicked Off At 10:00 AM This Morning


If you have nothing to do this weekend and you have money left over from Pork in the Park and the Salisbury Festival, take the $3.50 per gallon ride to Ocean City and look through the never ending repeat trinkets you find every year, year after year. Woo Hoo, what fun too. I hate to say this but my guess would be that this year will be the biggest flop they've ever experienced and it will also show a sign of what to expect business/visitor wise for the summer season.

I totally agree, Joe. I hate to go, but this place can usually get me a good mother's day gift. My mother loves garden/yard/porch outdoors-y stuff so it's great for mother's day gifts....but it's hardly worth the fight and frustration if you try to drive over the bridge and find a parking spot. Springfest is good for people looking for free outside entertainment, expensive warm beer and people-watching. I would rather waste my gas on Assateague with the husband, kids and dogs.

Now why would you say that Joe? Actually Emerson Drive is a really good country band, and you can't be 3 Dog Night. I think they are better acts then what was at the Salisbury Fest and Pork in the Park.

Joe, many hotels already sold out. But, I agree will prove an interesting gage for the summer. I hope you follow up.

If 3 dog night are so good why don't they do a show at Wicomico's Civic Center while in the area. They might draw a crowd of a couple hundred.....

I'll take a never heard of musician with high energy and fresh creativity anyday. Listening to 3 dog night is like wearing a toupe', what was just isn't now. You have fun though OK!
