Come join in an Eastern Shore cultural celebration with the Eleventh Annual Blessing of the Combines. With local shops to peruse, children's activities, arts and crafts, and a show of combines and tractors, the town of Snow Hill, MD, only half an hour from Ocean City, will celebrate local farming and bless the combine for a successful harvest.
Festivities begin on Green Street at 11:00 with live music and street activities. The Parade of Combines sets off down RT 12 to Green Street at Noon. A “throttle thrust” will signal Ron Brittingham, master of ceremonies, to begin the program with the presentation of colors by the award-winning Snow Hill High School Junior Marine Corps ROTC. After recognitions, a keynote speaker and the blessing, the afternoon’s lineup of selections featuring area musicians will begin.
Children can pet rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, calves, a donkey and horses at the Barnyard; then hop aboard a wagon for the hay ride. There will be children’s games, the popular children’s tractor pull, pie eating contest, great food and much more!
