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!
