A lot has to happen between “we’ll take it” and “here are the keys.”

Bright Title Services is part of that process, handling title and settlement work for real estate transactions throughout our area.

They also stepped up as a Silver Sponsor of this year’s Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament, and we’re glad to have another business connected to Ocean City real estate behind the event.

Thank you, Bright Title Services, for being part of this year’s tournament. ⛳️

You don’t think much about the electrical work behind Ocean City until you need it.

Frick Electric has spent years doing the kind of work that keeps homes, businesses and projects moving across our area.

This year, they also stepped onto the course with us as a Silver Sponsor of the Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament.

A big thank you to Frick Electric for being part of the day and part of the local business community behind OCDC.

A downtown bank backing a downtown organization. That connection matters.

Burke & Herbert Bank joined this year’s Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament as a Silver Sponsor, adding their name to a long list of local businesses and organizations that helped make the day happen.

With a branch right here in Downtown Ocean City, they’re part of the same neighborhood OCDC works in every day.

Thank you, Burke & Herbert Bank, for being part of this year’s tournament.

Art Davis wasn’t just the namesake of OCDC’s annual golf tournament. He was also a longtime president of Bank of Ocean City and one of OCDC’s founding members.

That makes the bank’s support of this tournament especially meaningful.

Bank of Ocean City joined us as both a Silver Sponsor and Lunch Sponsor, helping carry forward an event that honors Art’s legacy and supports the downtown work he helped begin.

Thank you to the Bank of Ocean City team for being part of that story.

If you’ve eaten at a restaurant in Ocean City, there’s a good chance Sysco helped get something into that kitchen.

Sysco Eastern Shore supports restaurants and hospitality businesses throughout the region, so their connection to Ocean City runs deeper than just one day on the golf course.

We’re grateful to have had them as a Gold Sponsor of this year’s Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament and appreciate their support of OCDC and the local business community.

Thank you, Sysco Eastern Shore.

What can Ocean City learn from a city on the other side of Maryland? Quite a bit, actually.

OCDC spent three days in Hagerstown this week at the 2026 Maryland Main Street Conference, connecting with people who share our passion for making downtown communities better places to live, work, and visit.

Between the workshops, conversations, and tours of nearby Main Streets, we got to see some pretty cool things happening across Maryland.

Hagerstown’s murals and public art were especially impressive!

Every downtown has its own personality, including ours here in Ocean City. That’s what makes getting together, sharing ideas, and learning from each other so valuable.

A big thanks to Maryland DHCD, Maryland Main Street, and our hosts in Hagerstown for a great conference!

Looking forward to Fells Point in 2027!

Some names are just part of Ocean City. The Dough Roller is one of them.

This year, they also showed up as a Gold Sponsor of the Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament, helping OCDC bring together the businesses and people who continue to support Downtown Ocean City.

That kind of support matters. It helps make the tournament possible and helps keep OCDC’s work moving long after the last putt drops.

Thank you, Kevin Gibbs and The Dough Roller, for continuing to show up for Ocean City.

A day on the golf course. A tradition with a much bigger story behind it. ⛳️

Last week, we headed to Ocean City Golf & Yacht Club for the annual OCDC Art Davis Memorial Golf Tournament.

The tournament is named in memory of Art Davis, one of OCDC’s founding members and a longtime president of the Bank of Ocean City. Art was part of OCDC from its earliest days, helping lay the groundwork for an organization that continues working to strengthen and revitalize Downtown Ocean City today.

So while the tournament is a chance to get out of the office, enjoy a beautiful course and have a little friendly competition, it has always been about something bigger.

It brings together the businesses, organizations and people who continue to invest in this community and raises funds that help OCDC continue its work Downtown.

We had a great day, took a lot of pictures and have a lot of people to thank.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to introduce you to some of the businesses and people who helped make this year’s tournament possible.

For now, here’s a look at a pretty great day in Art’s honor.

The former Carroll Fuels station near the Route 50 Bridge has been transformed into the new Carroll Market, with more than $800,000 in private investment.

OCDC contributed $22,000 toward more than $200,000 in exterior improvements, including new siding, masonry, windows, doors, roofing, canopies and more.

A 59-year-old property. A whole new life. And another investment in Downtown Ocean City.
