UPDATES

THE BEACH - THE AREA - Yes Virginia...there is a beach here. And if you're at the Red Roof, it's three blocks down the side street. If you're staying at the Crown Reef, take a step out on your balcony. You'll be on the "Redneck Riviera". A very short distance south of the hotel is an extremely nice state park. If you're into shopping, golf, tennis, shopping, eating; you're in the right place. Did I mention shopping? There's a Food Lion grocery store a couple miles south on the right. Liquor stores are identified usually by big red dots and I believe they close early, like 7:00pm. There is a quarter coin car wash going south on the right side, I think near the Food Lion. Plenty of drug stores are around. Check with the hotel front desk for any emergency medical facilities nearby.

T-SHIRT ORDERS - You can order t-shirts in advance when you register. You can then pay for it by PayPal or mail a check in. It's best to order this way rather than wait until you get to the beach. Those that have pre-ordered, your shirts will be at the beach. Otherwise, there will be a very limited quantity of t-shirts available at the beach.

50/50 and RAFFLE TICKETS...are now going to be referred to as "DONATION TICKETS". They will be available from 9:00am Friday until 6:00pm Saturday when the drawing will be held. Any "donation ticket" that is drawn on Friday and not claimed by Saturday at 6:00pm, will be tossed and drawn again. All winning "donation tickets" from Friday will be posted on a dry erase board near the "donation" center.

RTTB9 STUFF - Be sure to check out the RTTB9 STUFF page when it's up.

IN THE MALL - Again this year, we're in the mall. Back by popular demand, we'll be displaying our cars INSIDE Broadway At The Beach Mall.

NON-SHOW CARS - If you do not plan on entering your car to be judged but attending the show, we will have window cards stating "Do Not Judge". Registration is still required for the event but you can request your car not be judged.

BROADWAY AT THE BEACH - We were reminded that there is a no alcohol policy at Broadway at the Beach unless you are inside one of the bars or restaurants. Drinking outside a bar or restaurant is considered public consumption and is illegal.

MS FACTS & FAQ - Learn a little more about Multiple Sclerosis, our charity for 6 years running. Click on the link above for some interesting facts on this newly added page.

WHAT TO BRING TO THE BEACH - The weather can go either way so we suggest shorts AND a jacket. Nights can be cool and days can be warm. You best can determine what you and your family will personally need but here are a few things we suggest:

folding chairs; two-way radio (walkie talkies), camera; sunscreen; hats; car cleaning supplies; cash for raffles; food, water bowls, leash for your pet if you're bringing one; libations if you prefer although there are ABC stores close by (they close at 6 or 7); and be sure to bring the idea of having a great time

WALKIE TALKIES - TWO WAY RADIOS - Bring your radio. Communicate with others, hear what's going on. The official channel for Return To the Beach 9 is . . . . . Channel 9.

LOCAL LAWS - The Myrtle Beach Police are very strict on speeding, be careful. There are noise laws as well, if they can hear your stereo, you may get a ticket. Neon/LED's are frowned upon especially red or blue ones. Neon license plate frames are especially frowned upon.
