An A-MAZE-ING time was had by all at the eighth annual O.C.Toberfest.  Thousands of people experienced the thrill of the giant Holloween Beach Maze with surprises around every corner. While walking through the maze kids of all ages could play the “eye spy” game to look for giant centipedes.  Everyone who made it through the maze received a little prize plus there were hourly door prizes to local restaurants for those who found the correct number of giant centipedes.

Another event that took place as part of the O.C.Toberfest events was the “Howl-O-Ween Pet Parade.”  Over 200 pets, including a pig, a bunny, a bearded dragon, cats and dogs, from seven states, and their owners and friends came out dressed in their best costumes and paraded the boardwalk.  Some adorable friends from the Humane Society were the Parade Grand Marshals followed by all the awesome participants!  While the event was free to participate, over $1,000 in donations were collected for the Worcester County Humane Society.  Hopefully a few furry friends found new homes as well!  A list of winners can be found below!

After the Pet Parade participants and spectators got to sit back and watch the Drive and Disguise parade, which featured cars decorated for Halloween.  Once the parade reached the pier the cars parked along the boardwalk for some Trunk or Treating! 

The fun continued weekend two with “The Great Pumpkin Race.” Participants built their own pumpkin race cars to compete in this wacky and zany side-by-side down hill race. Lots of spectators cheers on their favorites! Driving home in first place for the Junior Division was Allison Martin, driving her “Pug-kin” from Woodstock Maryland.  Taking home first place in the Adult Division, returning champion, Grayson Jones driving the “Oscar Meyer Mobile” from Ocean City Maryland.  A complete list of winners can be found below!

Also taking place was the Big Toys on the Boardwalk.  Kids of all ages could see, touch and climb on giant trucks, ATVs, Police Cruisers, boats, jet skis and more!
