Here at Rehoboth in My Pocket, we’re all about beach, food, fun, and fireworks!

Living life to the fullest! Celebration!

So, in celebration of July 4 weekend at the beach, we’re lowering the price of our app – the Rehoboth in My Pocket travel guide for iPhone and iPad – to just 99 cents!

Here’s the scoop: One day only, on Wednesday, June 29, download the Rehoboth in My Pocket app for only 99 cents! (A 75% savings over the usual $3.99 price!) *Important note: Buy the app early in the day – Apple resets the price rather randomly, so no guarantees the price stays at $.99 until midnight. Just sayin’.

Buy apps for your beach-loving friends and your vacation-loving parents (just choose “Gift this App” when you buy it, and enter your friends’ email address!).

Then, head out to Rehoboth and raise a ruckus. And don’t miss the Rehoboth fireworks on July 4!

Here’s what’s new in the app:
✔ All entries updated for 2011!
✔ New categories, including Events, Hidden Gems, Eating Out-Outside!, Pet Friendly, and Open Year Round!
✔ 35 new entries, including handy lists for vacationers – such as Grocery Stores and Beer/Wine/Liquor Stores – plus dozens of events in Rehoboth, Lewes, and Dewey Beach
✔ More internal and external links to help you find what you need
✔ 160 pages and 700+ photos!

Rehoboth Art League eventSee it, learn it, try it

If you spend your vacation mornings wandering, coffee in hand, along the shady lanes of the Henlopen Acres neighborhood, just a few blocks north of Rehoboth Avenue (and you should), you’ll eventually walk past the Rehoboth Art League compound, and you’ll ask yourself, what the heck is that?

The three-acre campus is home for local artists and art-appreciators, with a permanent collection housed in the Homestead, an 18th Century farmhouse, as well as special exhibits, classes, lectures and special events.

The growing collection of more than 400 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs showcases pieces by contemporary artists as well as some renowned Delaware artists including Howard Pyle, Ethel P.B. Leach and Howard Schroeder.

In April, children’s art stars in the Young at Art exhibit at the Art League. In July, the League hosts the Rehoboth Beach Cottage Tour. And if you’re in town in August, be sure to go by for the Outdoor Fine Art and Craft Exhibit, featuring more than 100 artists and craftspeople.

Check the website for the complete schedule of classes and events, including ceramics, pottery, yoga, photography, painting, quilting and more.
