1500 people is a LOT of people for an event in little Delaware.
That is actually about equal to the entire year round population of Rehoboth Beach.
Rehoboth was founded as a Methodist Camp Meeting ground by the Rev. Adam White in 1873. Four years earlier, Rev. White helped to found Ocean Grove, NJ in 1869,a Methodist Camp Meeting Ground just south of Asbury Park, NJ. Some of you may have attended events and concerts in the Great Auditorium there, built in 1894, that can seat about 2500 people.
Up until Tuesday, the permit was still being denied for the beach event. Pastor Dekker was on the Glenn Beck’s radio show on Monday, and Fox and Friends on Tuesday(?). There was a LOT of pushback from local Christians, churches and pastors, and lots of local patriots, including yours truly, and made things uncomfortable for RB.
The reason for denial was the separation of church and state and was a red herring, and completely wrong.
Glad to see so many came out to RB to support this event.
I was at the Circle in Georgetown,DE, where four GOP DE state senators read the entire Declaration of Independence, including the names of those who signed the document.
About 50 people came out.
Small town America is the best! Happy Fourth of July to all!
