ESPN announced this week it will embark on its second "50 States in 50 Days" tour, meaning Delaware will find itself in the national sports spotlight sometime this summer.

The network announced it will start on Friday, June 27 in an unannounced state, going from "high-profile athletic venues" to "unique hometown locales."

In 2005, ESPN's Delaware choice was the concourse at Frawley Stadium, where a record 7,395 took the chance to be on television as the Blue Rocks faced the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Going back to Frawley Stadium certainly could be an option, but what are some other places ESPN could consider to showcase the First State?

Before we start, a reminder that 50 days only gets us to August 16, so that's 12 days too early for the DeSean Jackson-led Hornets heading to Delaware Stadium for UD's first official game as a member of the FBS on August 28.

Dover's NASCAR race is the most-attended sports event every year in Delaware, and it's pretty clear Miles the Monster would get plenty of love from ESPN.

It would be especially neat if features reporter Marty Smith had a chance to showcase Delaware during the day.

ESPN holds the rights to the 13-16 year old international tournament from the same organization that runs the Little League World Series.

Sussex County's champion earns an automatic bid to the tournament, and Delaware's state champion has also won the East Region on several occasions to give Delaware two teams.

One thing, can organizers please properly place the event in "Roxana, Delaware", instead of the goofy "Lower Sussex"?

The best skimboarders in the country have converged on Dewey Beach for several years.

Skimboarding is similar to surfing, but using the small film of water after a wave crashes on the sound to help propel the athletes into tricks.

The event takes place August 8-10, and Sportscenter anchor Scott Van Pelt has championed Dewey plenty on his late night show.

Rehoboth Beach hosts lifeguards from Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia in the annual competition.

Lifeguards go through vigorous training to be ready to save swimmers, so it would be a great way to showcase athletes at "The Nation's Summer Capital".

One of the most popular events every year in Harrington includes the smashing of compact cars, trucks, and SUVs.

The Delaware State Fair unites Delaware, and I'd imagine the FFA community could give ESPN some other sporting events to look at during the day.

The Blue Rocks are actually not home a lot in July, but there's certainly nothing wrong with a summer evening near the Riverfront.

Mr. Celery has only grown in status since his 2000 debut, and hopefully he would be seen plenty by the ESPN cameras on game day/night.

Maybe none of them quite have the cache of the Elvis 5K (Memphis, Tennessee), Blueberry Pie-Eating Contest (Maine), or Gueydan Duck Festival (Louisiana), but all would be ways to showcase the First State on a Summer day.
