Ocean City Prepared For ‘College Beach Week’ Event, Typical June Activities

OCEAN CITY — For several months, Ocean City public safety officials have been getting out in front of a planned beach week event next weekend that has a troubled past including discussions with the event promoter and bringing in extra law enforcement resources.

Local businesses officially learned of the planned “College Beach Week” event in early May when Ocean City Communications Director Jessica Waters and Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association (OCHMRA) Executive Director Susan Jones sent a letter to members alerting them of the city’s approach to the event and June in general.

“In an effort to keep communications open, we are reaching out regarding the month of June. Returning the weekend of June 5-7, 2015 will be College Beach Week. The Town of Ocean City has taken a proactive approach and met with the event organizer. They have communicated to them, as well as other groups, that they are welcome as long as they obey the same rules everyone else is expected to obey,” the letter reads. “Rest assured, there is a coordinated effort among surrounding agencies to maintain peace and order throughout June.”

Big Business and greed has turned this once wonderful beach town into a summer h%ll hole. Just ask the locals. The summer is to be tolerated...the fall is the real wonderful time. We pray for the end of summer in August...or at least the opening of schools so the little darlings go away.

Gotta do all caps on this one: DON'T FALL FOR THAT CRAP FROM THE PROMOTERS! Ask anyone (especially the police) that was around for the "Shaw-see" (sp.) event some years ago. Or the event at a mid-town restaurant/nightclub about ten years ago. It's the same players.
Mark my words. This is nothing but trouble.
