On behalf of the Neptune Recreation Department, Mayor Kevin McMillan, and the Neptune Township Committee, THANK YOU to all those who were a part of Neptune Day. From the sponsors to the vendors who sold their wares and the local community groups who shared information about their organizations, you added to the day’s events and made the day a success.
Neptune Day was once again held in the Middle School parking lot, and the weather was sunny with a slight breeze allowing attendees to enjoy the outdoors all day. Neptune Day attendees were able to participate and enjoy games of skill, a video gaming truck, pony rides & petting zoo, inflatables, face painting, various lawn games, and more! No festival day is complete without food, and our variety of vendors did not disappoint! Local staples included hot dogs from Windmill, Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches, BBQ offerings from BBQ on Wheels, shaved ice by Kona Ice, along with fair food staples as well like funnel cake, fried Oreos, lemonade from Debbie O’s Concessions!
Thanks to the Board of Education for sharing the location and to Hackensack Meridian Health / Jersey Shore University Medical Center who partnered with us for this community day by adding an entire section of a health fair with hands-on activities and games!
Thank you to all those who added to the day – from event sponsors who helped make all the activities possible—Imperial Healthcare, 107.1 The BOSS, and Nelson Realtors– to the groups who added to the opening remarks with Neptune NJROTC presenting the colors, and a performance by Neptune High School’s Cheerleading Team. This year saw the return of Unique 35 South Car Club members showing off over a dozen show cars!
And thanks to the many township departments who helped with the day and interacted with attendees, including Public Works, Police, Fire, Administration, the Marina, EMS, OEM, Senior Center, CERT, the Municipal Court, the Library, Vital Statistics, and Recreation. Thanks to the volunteers from CERT, Neptune Township, the Neptune Recreation Committee. We couldn’t do it without you!
It was a day filled with fun! Thanks for all the community support to make it happen! For more information about getting involved with next year’s Neptune Day, please contact Neptune Recreation at 732-869-1202.
