From the sponsors to the vendors who sold their wares and the local community groups who shared their energy and their information, you added to the day’s events. On behalf of the Neptune Recreation Department, Mayor Nicholas Williams, and the Neptune Township Committee, THANK YOU to all those who came out to make Neptune Day, Saturday, September 10, a success. Neptune Recreation plans to partner with Monmouth County Park System for another camping event next year. Quite a few of these were first time experiences for both adult and youth campers. Staff and volunteers lead the families in a variety of activities including use of a climbing wall, pumpkin painting and carving, cooking dinner over a camp fire, a hike at dusk, s’mores, and an overnight camping experience in the platform tents. On October 22 four Neptune families gathered at Nomoco Campground (part of Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold) for a fall camping experience organized by Monmouth County Parks Systems and Neptune Recreation. These creations will be on display through Thanksgiving. Several families gathered in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 9, in front of Neptune’s Municipal building to build scarecrows together with clothes and props from home, while Neptune Recreation provided the stands and the stuffing. Thank you to Deputy Mayor Keith Cafferty, Committeepersons Robert Lane and Tassie York, Neptune High School Student Council, Recreation Committee volunteers, and all who helped make the event possible, especially Santa!

Families were greeted with music and seasonal fun including a 12 foot tall inflatable snow globe for a unique picture opportunity. Thanks to sponsorship from Imperial Healthcare attendees were greeted with donuts and hot chocolate to help them warm up. On December 3, Neptune families braved the rain for some dancing, musical games, refreshments, and a little time with Santa at Summerfield Elementary School’s cafeteria. Despite the rain outside it was a wonderful and festive morning filled with smiles. ![]()
