Sea Witch memorabilia packages on sale now; order early for holidays
The Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce has announced that Sea Witch Memorabilia packages are now available for purchase.
While the plan was to wait until 2021 to disassemble the original Sea Witch parade balloon, because of the uncertainty that the original balloon will stay airborne, the chamber decided to spread a bit of Sea Witch cheer this year.
Ken Moody, the artist and creator of the original Sea Witch balloon, now 25-plus years old, will be designing and producing an exact replica of the iconic Sea Witch to be flown in the 2021 parade. Festival fans will be able to watch the new Sea Witch balloon creation process online during October, and the original parade balloon will be disassembled in November after completion of the new edition.
Authenticated, numbered pieces of the original balloon will be sold in 3-by-3-inch squares as part of the new Sea Witch Memorabilia packages.
Preordered and prepaid Sea Witch Memorabilia packages can be ordered through the chamber website, beach-fun.com, and at the chamber office, 306 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach.
Packages will include a numbered and authenticated piece of the original Sea Witch balloon, a limited-edition Sea Witch cloth face mask, a youth- or adult-sized 2021 Lobster Monster festival shirt, and a 20/21 festival pin. Packages retail for $150, including all shipping and handling costs.
Packages will be shipped in early December, just in time for the holidays. Individual festival shirts, pins and masks can also be purchased online. For more information, go to beach-fun.com or call the Rehoboth-Dewey Chamber at 302-227-6446.
