Kathy & Hoda come to Rehoboth!

Did you know Kathy Lee owns a home in Rehoboth? She has always frequented the area, especially since she grew up here. Her co-host, Hoda, also has a family summer home here.

Recently the two women visited and brought along their show! Check out the video here. Pretty cool having mini-celebrities here, huh?!

DE has the Best Beach Water Quality in the US

WOW! The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) has rated Rehoboth and Dewey Beach as two of the top cleanest beach water sites in the country! This is an amazing honor, especially wonderful since only four beaches nationwide earned the honor.

Consideration for the award is based on five factors: water quality in 2010; water quality overall for the past 3 years; frequency of testing; issuing advisories and posting closings (if needed).

The locals take a great deal of care to keep the beaches safe, clean and fun. In fact, Prudential Gallo holds an annual beach-cleanup day, where this past May I rolled up my sleeves, along with members of The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, to do our part. It's a rewarding experience.

And the news gets better! For 3 consecutive years, we’ve had the cleanest beach water in the US. The EPA reports on beaches nationwide. Find out all about your beach here. The Natural Resources Defense Council’s website provides a quick look at Americas most popular beaches and their five-factor ratings.  The ‘Best and Worst Beach Water Quality’ article can be found here.

So, as we (quickly) approach the 4th of July, I wish your family nothing but fun in the sun on Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.

All the best,

Lee Ann

Boomer Retirement Special to Air on Thursday March 4th 2010

In a landmark two-hour documentary, CNBC and Tom Brokaw take viewers on a provocative journey down memory lane and peer into an uncertain future. From Woodstock to the civil rights movement, in war and politics, Brokaw chronicles the extraordinary impact 78 million baby boomers have had on American society over the past six decades. He sits down with a fascinating cross-section of boomers to talk about their generation’s life and legacy, including U.S. Senator and Vietnam veteran James Webb; Anne Mulcahy and Ursula Burns, chairman and CEO, respectively, of Xerox Corporation; author and critic Michael Eric Dyson; and political satirist P.J. O’Rourke. Brokaw also introduces viewers to everyday boomers and their children -- real people who have lived through unprecedented prosperity and now find themselves facing significant financial, physical and social challenges. This boomer generation is also willing to travel further and choosing places unlike stereotypical retirement hotspots. Some of these locals may be covered. “TOM BROKAW REPORTS: BOOMERS!” will air on CNBC Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 9 p.m. ET and re-air on CNBC on Saturday, March 6th at 7PM ET, Sunday, March 7th at 9PM ET and Monday, March 8th at 8PM ET.

Sand Castle Contest at the Rehoboth Beach

This past Saturday morning began with a major thunderstorm, dampening the beach obligingly for the sand castle contestants. By 3 p.m. the judges were patrolling the beach to choose the best entries in several categories. Our favorite was the sleeping dog "Ruff Day". The Sand Castle contest is held every year at the North end of the boardwalk in Rehoboth in front of the Henlopen Hotel.
