Ocean City Getting Ready to Paint the Town Red and White

The third annual Red & White Weekend, a reunion for all Ocean City High School classes, is set for Sept. 29 to Oct. 2.

It started three years ago with former Ocean City High School students of all ages sharing stories, memories and good company, and the annual Red & White Weekend has only grown from there.

The reunion for all OCHS graduating classes now includes four days of events presented by the O.C. Alumni Association.

Registrations are still being accepted and the brochure including the registration form can be found at OCHSAlumni.com or by clicking the PDF icon with this story (tickets can be purchased with cash or check).
