The 103rd Wildwoods Baby Parade was held Thursday, Aug. 2. It had been postponed a day because of the threat of wet weather.
Before that, a luncheon was held at “The Wharf” restaurant where members of the Wildwood Civic Club gathered and Queen Oceania and her court were chosen. This is always a moment of high drama. This year’s queen is Grace Lederer of North Wildwood, and her court consists of Princess Shelby Thornton and Princess Dinae DeMayo. Shelby Thornton was Queen Oceania last year and she brought along her mom Tracey and grandmother Lola Borden. Grace Lederer, the new “queen,” was with her mom Cathryn, and Princess Dinae had her mom Danielle join her for the lunch.
