Sock Hop set at Rehoboth Beach Museum Sept. 29
Members and friends of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society are invited to step back in time to Rehoboth Beach in the 1950s and 1960s by attending a Sock Hop Saturday, Sept. 29, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the Rehoboth Beach Museum.
Local teens once delighted in the summertime Wednesday night Boardwalk dances held at the foot of Rehoboth Avenue, and the colder-weather sock hops held in the high school cafeteria. Year-round, Snyder’s soda fountain shop on Rehoboth Avenue was the place to be.
The local hangout for several generations, cherry and vanilla cokes and the house specialty Bon Bons are unforgettable sweet treats synonymous with Snyder’s.
Participants are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes (or go boardwalk-barefoot style) and dance to oldie selections spun by a local DJ. Requests will be taken. Attendance is limited. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted and appreciated. The museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Ave. Call the museum at 302-227-7310 to reserve a spot.
