Jersey Shore Farmers Market Accepts Hurricane Harvey Donations

This weekend marks the last Jersey Shore farmers market of the year. To send off the season right, Brigantine’s farmers market accepts Hurricane Harvey donations. Everything collected directly benefits the people affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Jersey Shore Farmers Market – Hurricane Harvey Donations

It’s been five years since Hurricane Sandy. And we’re still dealing with its aftermath today. So who better than Jersey Shore residents to understand the devastation something like Hurricane Harvey created?

Ventnor City already accepted donations for Hurricane Harvey victims at their last market of the season today. If you missed that, visit Brigantine’s farmers market on Saturday, September 2nd. Between 8:30am and 12pm, they’ll accept any aid you wish to provide.

What is Needed

Non-perishable food items
Diapers (adult and infant)
Formula
Dog and cat food
Pet bowls
Bottled water
Feminine hygiene products
Toiletries
Clothing (larger sizes are always appreciated)
Blankets, sleeping bags
Story books or coloring books with crayons
Board games, cards, etc.

Remember, many people are without power right now. If you donate canned food items, please make sure they are easily opened. Otherwise, you may want to include a few hand powered can openers with your donation.

Other Ways You Can Donate to Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts

Can’t make it to a Jersey Shore farmers market this weekend? Still want to help? You can text a quick $10 donation to either Salvation Army (text STORM to 51555) or the American Red Cross (text HARVEY to 90999). Also, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner suggests the official Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. The United Way of Greater Houston offers immediate as well as long term assistance for victims of Hurricane Harvey. You can either visit their website to donate online or text UWFLOOD to 41444.

When disaster strikes, there is no such thing as a small donation. Every bit helps. Even if we all just donated $5 each, think of the good that can be done with that total? Visit a Jersey Shore farmers market this weekend, go online or text a donation right away. Your help will bring comfort to someone in need.

Atlantic City Air Show 2017 Takes Flight Tomorrow

Look up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. Well, actually, it’s several planes. And they’re busy practicing for the Atlantic City Air Show 2017 that takes place tomorrow!

What: Atlantic City Air Show 2017
Where: Over Atlantic City Beaches
When: Wednesday, August 23rd, 11:30am to 3pm
Admission: Free
Contact: Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce (609) 345-4524

Atlantic City Air Show 2017

Around 10:30am on Wednesday August 23rd, the air space above local beaches shuts down to any traffic not involved in the show. The US Army Golden Knights kick off the day’s events with a streamer drop at 11:15am. Then, guests of the Atlantic City Air Show 2017 will be treated to skywriters, skytypers, a flag jump, aircraft flybys, military demonstrations and so much more. For the “piece de resistance”, the US Air Force Thunderbirds show off their magnificent power to close down the show.

Places to Watch the Atlantic City Air Show 2017

Since all the action takes place overhead, any local beach provides optimal viewing for the Atlantic City Air Show 2017. Scout a spot on the Boardwalk if you’d like. Or, visit Margaritaville, the Hard Rock Cafe, Casa Taco and Tequila, Harry’s Oyster Bar or any of the other fabulous Boardwalk restaurants for lunch. Request outdoor seating and you’ll have a great place to watch the show above!

But there’s no waiting out on the water. Spend the day on your boat and entertainment will follow. Just keep an eye out for “no boat” zones. Be safe. Once the aerobatics start, tune your radio to WPG 104.1FM or 1450AM for a running commentary on the air show performers.

Atlantic City Air Show 2017 Tips

Let me leave you with a few tips before you take off for the Atlantic City Air Show 2017. The weatherman predicts highs in the 80’s with possible thunderstorms later in the day. Even with cloud cover, make sure you slather on the sunscreen. Layer your clothing so you can take it off as it gets hotter and add back when it cools off. Don’t forget your sunglasses. For a closer look at the performers, bring your binoculars. Charge up your digital cameras and smartphones. You’ll want to capture all the incredible performances to share with others. Pack plenty of snacks and water.

Officials warn that drones will not be allowed anywhere near the City’s beaches while the Atlantic City Air Show 2017 takes place. Any drones caught in the vicinity will be confiscated. Owners may face fines. Let’s keep everyone safe while they enjoy this amazing show.
