4th ANNUAL PET DAY
We were blessed with a sunny day for our 4th Annual Pet Day which took place on Sat. May 16th. It was wonderful to see so many families out with their dogs, although we did see some other pets like a guinea pig and a bird also out to enjoy the day's activities. The event was highlighted by visits from Elwood, the 2007 world's ugliest dog, Mercer County Wildlife presentation, Snakes & Scales & Turtle Tales, the Honky Tonk Ranch ponies and animal farm and 62 vendors. We had several animal rescue groups there and we're pleased to announce that several animals found homes. It was great to see the children from our community organizations such as the Girl Scouts and the 4H Groups taking part in this event. Special thanks to the committee who worked very hard to put on this event including, Ginny Melchiondo - Tobacco Road, Sharon Ragonese - Pine Forest Cemetery, Beverly Courtney - Fido's Nanny, Michele Shaffery - TD Bank, Wayne Pawlowski - Garage Door Guy, Gerry Dey - Bamboo Productions and Donna Doherty - Barnegat Bridal Boutique. We also want to thank the Town of Barnegat for providing the police, the bus, public works, etc. that assisted us in making this truly a family event for the community.

TOWNWIDE YARD SALE
The Townwide Yard sale took place on Sat. May 9th. We had over 150 homes participate in the event this year. The event continues to bring many out-of-town bargain hunters as could be seen by the amount of cars parked on East Bay Avenue. Special thanks to Ginny Melchiondo - Tobacco Road, Jerry Thomspon - The VanDyk Group and Jim Episale - Unshreedded Nostalgia for coordinating the event.
