Monmouth,
Ocean County Freeholder Directors
promote
extended summer season, fall at Jersey Shore
FREEHOLD, NJ – Monmouth
County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone and Ocean County Freeholder
Director Joseph H. Vicari are teaming up to promote the region as a viable
destination to visit during an extended summer season. Both Directors serve as
the tourism liaisons in their respective counties.
“There is no question on how
different this summer season looked at the Jersey Shore due to the ongoing
impact from Covid-19,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “From social distancing
guidelines and limited badge sales to restrictions placed on our restaurant and
small business industries, summer 2020 was certainly a tough one for our
merchants and towns. This is why it is important to spread the message that
just because Labor Day has come and gone, doesn’t mean summer is over in
Monmouth and Ocean counties.”
While Labor Day may mark the
symbolic end of the summer season, Freeholder Director Vicari encouraged both
residents and visitors to embrace what has become known as “local summer” and
the upcoming fall season at the Jersey Shore.
“Many of our beaches have
extended their season and some continue to provide lifeguard coverage in
September,” said Freeholder Director Vicari. “From the shore to the mainland,
we have exciting attractions, events and natural wonders to explore, along with
fall farm experiences and fun Halloween frights! There is so much to enjoy as a
local in Monmouth and Ocean counties.”
Both Director Arnone and
Director Vicari encourage residents and visitors to take advantage of the area’s
late summer and upcoming fall activities that include hayrides, pumpkin picking
and other outdoor family fun activities through November. They also encourage
everyone to check out the small businesses and restaurants throughout the area.
