Tanger Rehoboth to host hometown hero event July 6

Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth will host a super heroes-themed event and a chance to meet hometown heroes from 2 to 5 p.m., Friday, July 6, in the courtyard by Forever 21 at Tanger Seaside. Local first responders will be on hand from the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Co. and Delaware State Police. Vietnam Veterans Chapter 850 will showcase a real canine hero who is in training to assist a disabled veteran.

The newly renovated courtyard features an interactive splash fountain that’s child-friendly, and the afternoon event will feature a DJ, face painting, free treats and samples from TCBY/Mrs. Fields/Pretzelmaker, balloon animals and opportunities for families to encounter fire and rescue equipment and personnel.

“We hope everyone will join us for this fun and free event on Friday, July 6,” said Amy Schnerr, general manager of Tanger Outlets. “It’s a great opportunity to demonstrate our appreciation for first responders and veterans, get the kids out of the house, and enjoy some free summer fun!”
