The Luck of the Irish

Today is a very special day. As a very Irish family we celebrate big on Saint Patrick's Day for multiple reasons. Today is not only a day to celebrate the Irish heritage but to celebrate the births of our BPAC matriarch and PG! PG turned three today and has been with the BPAC since its formation. He was only 5 months when he first appeared in the 2008 baby parade. And then tomorrow is K's birthday who has also been with the BPAC since its inception in 08. She is the head of artistic designs. Tomorrow is our big St Patty's day party for our family and the first official BPAC meeting of the 2011 season.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day
Happy Birthdays
And Happy First Official BPAC Meeting!

Keep on Parading!

A Very Happy Birthday!!

March is full of birthdays in our family and today marks our first March birthday!! Happy Birthday to A!! A has been with the BPAC for 3 years now and is our head of international affiliates. Last year at the Baby Parade she pulled one of our award winning floats! Happy Birthday!!!!


And since it is Ocean City Baby Parade History Month here is your fact for the day!

The Baby Parade has often reflected what is going on in the country and the world. For example: after the great depression many of the children's floats and costumes echoed the economic concerns or the bicentennial year of 1976 when a definite patriotic theme was felt.

Happy March!

March is Ocean City Baby Parade History Month!

The BPAC is officially naming March the "Official Ocean City Baby Parade History Month." All throughout March we will be giving you little tidbits about the greatest and longest running baby parade in the United States. This year will be the 102nd Baby Parade in Ocean City.

Today's Fun Fact: August of 1909 Ocean City held its first Baby Parade. At that time it was a modest affair with children marching down the boardwalk wearing paper hats and waving flags. In earlier years prizes were awarded to the cutest, fattest, and prettiest babies.

Our first official BPAC 2011 staff meeting has been set for March 18, 2011. Stay tuned for details about our theme!!!

Keep on Parading!
