It’s the weekend before the final weekend of summer. That’s a bad thing to say. No one wants to see summer coming to an end. No need to worry though – get your final hoorah in one weekend. Socially Speaking, there are fun events happening all over the Eastern Shore. From Ocean City to Salisbury; from Lewes to Berlin; and everywhere in between. Check out these ShoreBread event recommendations:

Storm Warriors at Life-Saving Station

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is presenting a fun, children-oriented program this weekend.

On Saturday, at 10 am, children and adults are invited to learn about local sea life and the museum’s resident critters enjoy their morning meal. The aquarium feeding program is free and held outside the museum (located at the Ocean City inlet on the boardwalk). This event is weather permitting. Call the museum, 410-289-4991, for more information.
