OCEAN PINES–The Ocean Pines Boat Club boat parade has returned.
It has been several years since the last event, but now the Ocean Pines Boat Club is again sponsoring the parade for 2014. The parade will take place Saturday, July 26, at Pintail Park beginning at 2 p.m. The rain date will be July 27.

The boat club would like to make this event a family affair each year. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, coolers, children, and come have a good time and relax for a day of fun and games.
There will be games for the children and adults to play, such as ring toss, horse races, bocci ball, hula hoop contest, chicken dance contest and balloon toss. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
