Beverages are included in the ticket price with beer available for purchase. Island Boy, a festival favorite for over 25 years, will provide live entertainment for everyone’s enjoyment. An Extravaganza Raffle is held with the winner receiving t-shirts, tickets, lodging, gift certificates for meals, and much more for the following year’s festival. A favorite at the festival is the “Best Place/Space Award” which is given to the best decorated area. There will also be a variety of souvenirs available for purchase.

Anonymous said...Frog Eye exists. I was friends with Earl and Peggy and three of their children. I worked with Denny at Kellam's in Pocomoke, dated Cathy and Baby Duck (Margaret) was a good friend and confidant when she worked at my doctor's office.
Frog Eye was the temporary home to a part time con man and swindler. In 1971 a man and his family came to Pocomoke and bought the old Pilchard Brothers building at Twelfth and Market and opened up a dealership for American Motors. He flashed a lot of big money around town and bought a house in Frog Eye on Cornstack Road, on the right just down from Rehobeth Road (Rt. 667). He spent a fortune on that house and Denny Price and I did a lot of installation of gas lines and appliances.
He also spent a lot of money promoting his dealership but I know of only one car that he sold, a white Gremlin to some local fellow who spent every day and night for the next six months driving it up and down Market Street. Eventually this guy ran out of money and his creditors foreclosed and everything went to rack and ruin and everybody lost lots of money. I knew from the beginning that this guy was a shyster because he always wore white patent leather shoes and a white patent leather belt.
