Sussex County is getting national attention from Extreme Makeover Home Edition (EMHE)! They’ve chosen southern Delaware’s own Schell Brothers Construction to build their next home for a deserving family in our area. The build will begin August 22, and run through August 29, when crowds chant “Move That Bus!” welcoming the family to their new home. Last night, Cape Henlopen High School became the scene of an energizing pep rally featuring cheerleaders, drum lines, EMHE crazed fans, and some of the folks behind the show. But no, Ty Pennington didn’t make an appearance. That won’t happen until next week, when on Tuesday, Ty will surprise one very lucky family with his famous “Gooooooooood Morning,” kicking off the beginning of 4 1/2 days of extreme building. That’s right- only 4 1/2 days. With an army of over 7000 volunteers from around the community, this promises to be one of the most exciting builds yet. Following the pep rally, a benefit concert was offered, with all proceeds from tickets going to help the cause. Guest host Telly Leung, of the hit show, Glee, was on hand to introduce talent from around the area, treating the audience to 4 movements of a ballet, tap and jazz dancers, Broadway singers, piano players, and even a visit from Miss. Delaware. After a finale featuring the Blue Moon’s own Pamala Stanley singing Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, guests were reminded of the fact that although we may face seemingly unsurmountable odds, every one of us has the ability to be a hero, by getting involved in a cause where we can make a difference. Because of Sussex County’s amazing community, a house will be built in 4 1/2 days, and a family that once felt hopeless, will get a new beginning. Be sure to check my blog for pics and behind the scenes footage of the build!

When people think of the beach they rarely think SNOW, but snow is what we had late Sunday night and a good portion of Monday morning in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. From listening to the local radio station I was informed that schools and State Government offices were all closed.  Being from Michigan and having lived in Colorado, Northern California and even Alaska this storm was mild but the locals certainly thought otherwise.  My trusty Jeep and I drove to the office just like every other day only to find a handful of other die-hard Realtors busy at work even though the office was officially closed.  Kim Hamer, Vicki Tull and Justin Healy were just a few of the brave souls who tempted fate on the slippery roads. Snow in Rehoboth is so rare that I took a few photos to prove that it really happened.

On February first 2009 the 18th annual Polar Bear Plunge held to benefit Delaware Special Olympics went off without a hitch. I’m not sure what the official count was but there were thousands of people in attendance and hundreds if not more “Plungers”

The water temperature was a chilly 37 degrees while the air temp was only slightly warmer at 55 degrees.

The State Governor and Miss Delaware were in attendance.

This year’s plunge raised $490,000

Why it’s called the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge but held in Rehoboth is a mystery to me but I’m sure there is a reason for it.

The Lewes Fire/Rescue team put on a great show with their water cannons and kept an eye out for  swimmers who could be overcome by the surf or the cold temperatures.  I saw at least two members of the fire /rescue team in dry suits monitoring the plungers activities from the frigid waters.

I personally shot an hour of video footage of the event that I will post as soon as I find time to edit it and I’ve got hundreds of photos  that I will be uploading to flickr.
