The Ocean City Ferris wheel stands still and empty in the mid-week sunshine, ready for action on Memorial Day weekend.
Ocean City, Maryland, is poised on the eve of Memorial Day Weekend. The outlook is for ideal holiday weather, with highs near 80 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and little chance of rain. For all you need to know about Ocean City, Maryland, I recommend the town’s new, upgraded Web site, www.ococean.com
A picture of the partly disassembled Ferris Wheel on the Ocean City pier attracted a lot of interest during the off-season. Ferris wheel fans will be happy to know that it’s all put back together, ready and waiting for the first riders of Memorial Day Weekend.
I wonder what they call this ride? It looks elegant, and suitable for daring riders.
The rides at Trimpers, a landmark at the south end of the Ocean City Boardwalk for over 100 years, are quiet and motionless, but full of potential energy for the weekend and the summer.
Here's another one I can't identify. I believe it's designed for fearless adventure-seekers.
And Ocean City will have plenty to do for visitors who prefer to keep their feet solidly on the ground. There’s three miles of Boardwalk, bordered on the east side by the beach and Atlantic Ocean; and lined with an endless selection of stores, amusements, hotels and restaurants on the west side. Set your own pace.
Volleyball nets have appeared on the beach between North Division Street and Somerset Plaza. A professional volleyball tournament will be held on the beach in mid-June. Until then, these sandy courts are strictly for amateurs. Enjoy.
Memorial Day weekend has become the traditional start of summer. Also remember that Memorial Day is first and foremost a day to honor the military men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States of America. – Bernie Hayden
An abundance of volleyball courts stand waiting for players on the wide beach at the south end of Ocean City.

Photos are too tempting to ignore! What great shots – trip down memory lane, before I was afraid to ride the amusements
