The Bay to Ocean Writers Conference, to be held on February 25. 2012 at Chesapeake College, has sold out in advance for the seventh consecutive year. While the 2011 event increased its capacity to accommodate more writers, its popularity has grown, as well. About 220 participants from the Chesapeake region and surrounding states will attend the conference, which is sponsored by the Eastern Shore Writers Association.
