  • Things To Do
Summerlee Reimet was not even sure she wanted to go to the Ocean City Historical Museum on Saturday afternoon (Dec. 20), but she’s now glad she did. At just before 2 p.m., Mark Reimet, financial advisor with the Ocean City Financial Group, and his family strolled into the Museum and his daughter, Summerlee, was the 7,000th visitor of 2014 to the museum. She said she must be on a lucky streak because she had won a prize at another event recently.
