Most of the vehicles on the island this week? Contractor and delivery trucks.
Trades people are working long hours to complete projects in time for Friday; outdoor furniture and gas grills will be delivered to numerous homes; food stores and restaurants are stocking up; and Borough workers continue to prep the beaches and town for the big holiday weekend.
Stone Harbor will officially “open” the beach on Thursday, 5/23. Avalon will join other Jersey shore communities for a symbolic ribbon cutting on Friday, 5/24.  The mile long ribbon will be held by local business owners, residents, and school children.  8:30am on the 30th Street beach.  Should be a nice event.
On Memorial Day (Monday), there will be 2 parades: Â Avalon at 9am; and Stone Harbor at 12 noon. Â A great excuse for a bike ride to catch both events.
P.S. Stone Harbor will also join in with the Jersey shore ribbon cutting Friday morning. Â 9am at the 95th Street beach. Encouraging business owners, residents, and visitors to help with the event. Â This will replace the Thursday beach opening.
