Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update October 10, 2019

October 10, 2019 By Bill and Kay Leahy

MORE THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT OCTOBER!
-Shorts & short sleeves during the day, sweaters & sweatshirts at night!
-Smoke from a fireplace wafting through the chilly evening air!
-Avalon’s Seafood Festival—this weekend!  (See below.)
-A full moon over the ocean!  Make it extra special by climbing the Cape May Lighthouse Sunday evening to view it!  (See below.)

AN ANNUAL FAVORITE: AVALON’S SEAFOOD FESTIVAL returns this weekend, complete with an array of food vendors and activities, beer & wine, and live-streamed college and NFL games.  Live music will be featured all weekend, too, along with the annual Chowder Contest, which begins Sunday at 1pm.  The Seafood Festival will be held at Surfside Park at 30th Street & the beach, from 10am to 5pm on Saturday & Sunday.

BEACH SWEEPS, organized by Clean Ocean Action, will be held in Avalon and Stone Harbor on Saturday, October 26th, from 9am to 12:30pm.  Consider volunteering your time to help clean and remove trash from local beaches!  In Avalon, volunteers will gather at Community Hall at 30th Street & the beach at 9am; in Stone Harbor, volunteers will gather at Beach Patrol Headquarters at 95th Street & the beach at 9am.  Bring gloves, and dress appropriately for the weather.

TIME FOR WINTER PREPARATIONS:  Take a few moments to plan ahead for the arrival of cold weather.  Call your plumber to schedule the winterization of your outside shower and hoses.  Foundation vents should be closed in advance of cold weather to prevent frozen pipes in your crawlspace, and thermostats should be set at 55 degrees to keep inside pipes warm.  Consult with your plumber or contractor for additional requirements unique to your home.  Need a plumber or contractor?  Call or email me—I’ll be happy to provide you with recommendations!

DID YOU KNOW?  70% of luxury second home buyers think it’s a good time to buy a second home;  55% of them believe the luxury residential real estate market is getting stronger.  (Source: Luxury Portfolio International 2019) If it’s the right time for YOU to buy a second home, call or email me, and we’ll formulate a plan to find you the perfect place!
