The Maryland Party dazzled underneath clear moon-lit skies and comfortable temperatures at the Encore Beach Club, as more than 1800 people attended last week’s event, now in its eighteenth year.

Former Maryland businessman Steve Wynn, who operated a string of bingo parlors in Anne Arundel County, addressed the crowd along with Howard Perlow, of Residential Title & Escrow Company, the organizer of the event that is supported by a large contingent of real estate companies and affiliated organizations. The western-themed party featured a country western band, mechanical bull and Cowboys walking on stilts.
