As we rapidly continue our journey toward Memorial Day Weekend and the beginning of the busy summer season at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches, we present a full calendar of fun and family-friendly events this week as part of our regular "Weekender Blog," brought to you each week by the real estate professionals at the Oldfather Group of Compass RE.
We have some great things to tell you about this week and expect nothing but full schedules between now and the conclusion of the Fall Festival Season in early November.
We encourage you to take a look at what's happening over the next few days and to plan on making some memories here in the coastal region. It won't be long now before the area is teeming with activity, so take advantage of this "calm before the storm," if you will, to enjoy all that's happening along the coast.
Here are our highlighted events for the extended weekend of April 19-21. Have a great weekend everyone!
