The 2012 Festival of the Sea was held Sat. in Point Beach
The sun, the food and the fun made a visit to the Festival of the Sea a great time for my family, friends and I on Saturday afternoon. And getting in and out quickly and easily via free shuttle bus was a big improvement over fighting traffic, driving around looking for a parking spot and then walking a long distance just to get to the beginning of the street fair. Residents from Point Beach, Point Borough, Brick, many parts of New Jersey and beyond, ate, drank and partied at the 2012 Festival of the Sea in downtown Point Pleasant Beach. The Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce, which planned and ran the popular seafood festival, could not have asked for more spectacular weather. The sunny skies and warm, balmy weather attracted …

UPDATE: NEW PHOTOS
A giant water slide, a climbing wall, lots of inflatable rides and four kinds of live musical entertainment are just a few of the reasons to come to Summerfest today. Originally, The Passion Group, running the event, had intended to have a ferris wheel at Summerfest. Unfortunately, that did not work out due to unforeseen circumstances. However, there is a giant water slide (in photo), other water slides and lots of rides and games for kids. The event, sponsored by the Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce, is running until 7 p.m. at Community Park on Bridge Avenue and Beaver Dam Road.

Committee planning the alcohol-free, post-graduation party needs a lot more flower sales to make Project Graduation successful
The Project Graduation Committee is urging the greater Point Borough community to buy some flowers - fast! The deadline has been extended to Friday because the number of flower sales are down 30 percent compared to last year, said Noelle Grcic, one of the parents heading up the small, but determined, parents' committee trying to plan the kind of Project Graduation that Point Borough High School graduates will want to attend. The committee, through other fundraisers, has raised enough money to pay the Atlantic Club in Wall for use of its facility after the June 13 graduation. However, the committee sorely needs more funds to make sure there are enough activities to keep the graduates nice and busy during the event which begins after …
