Also, for anyone coming down and looking for a place to stay... the city of Dover has a very limited number of hotels and most seem to be in questionable parts of the city. There are places to stay if you look in either direction (Smyrna, Harrington, Seaford, Georgetown, and of course the three major beach towns) and of course the closer you go towards Wilmington. Smyrna is about 15-20 minutes via Route 1, Harrington is about 15-20 minutes via Route 13, Seaford is about 30-35 minutes via Route 13, Georgetown is about 25-30 minutes via Route 113, and the shore towns of Dewey Beach, Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach can be more than an hour away on Route 1. Bear (where we are) is about 45 minutes away and Newark, Christiana, New Castle, and Wilmington puts you close to an hour away. All of this is with no traffic, and trust me, traffic on 1, 113, and 13 can be a bear. Oh, and there's variable pricing tolls on Route 1 depending on the day.

We've only been in the state a few months but have pretty much traversed the entire length of Delaware since we've moved.

Hi all,
Anyone know the schedule for the Performers ? I want both parents to go and see the Blues and Tbirds, but concerned the gap between them might be a 2-3 hours.

Probably won't get released until the week of the show

Well, The website added, Opening Ceremonies at 12:00 and show ends at 5:00, these shows usually end at 4:00.
That makes me think Tbirds are 4:00-5:00. Blues may be 1:00 or 2:00 ?
