The luck of the Irish brought sunny skies and 50-degree weather for the ninth annual Stone Harbor Shiver over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Hundreds of residents and visitors alike decked to the nines in green and gold attended the event in support of Family Promise of Cape May County.

There was one Blufish in Avalon. A second store in Stone Harbor made it two.

It’s that time of year again. Summer is coming up fast and you need to have a plan to keep the kids busy. Here are a few camps in the area that your child or children might be interested in.

Voters in Avalon will head to the polls for the municipal election on Tuesday, May 14 from 6am-8pm. The Borough of Avalon has three positions to be filled, including a four-year term for mayor and two four-year terms on council. Mayor Martin Pagliughi, councilwoman Barbara Juzaitis and newcomer Samuel Wierman are running together as Team Avalon.

There might not be enough space here for the love that the late David Crafts generates in conversations about him with his family members and friends.

Grab the kids and join the Stone Harbor Volunteer Fire Department for its annual Easter Egg Hunt featuring prizes for all and photos with the Easter Bunny himself!

The Cape May County Habitat for Humanity was selected as the recipient of the Sturdy Savings Bank’s annual Charity of the Year donation.

Longtime Avalon resident Barbara Juzaitis was appointed by Avalon Borough Council to serve the remainder of an unexpired term of Dick Dean, who retired. Council voted for the appointment unanimously during its Dec. 12 meeting and Mayor Martin Pagliughi administered the oath of office.

Nostalgia is something that is generational. There may always be that certain movie that you identified with during your earlier years. Maybe it was “Rebel Without a Cause” with the iconic James Dean who said, “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”
