Summer 2017

Last summer, participants in the Seaside Semper Five race never had a chance to finish the race. That's because shortly before it began, an explosion rocked the area near the starting line, an act that turned into a terror investigation stretching from Ocean County to New York City.

As I'm getting my normal Friday work done, it dawned on me that next week starts the last week of April. Which can only mean one thing here in Ocean County - Memorial Day Weekend is right around the corner!

One of the best parts of the late spring and summer season in Ocean County is the downtown Toms River Farmers Market. But when it opens in May, it'll be in a new location.

While we're dealing with Mother Nature's indecision on what season we're in right now, let's start thinking about summer 2017!
