Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update March 12, 2020

March 12, 2020 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Cape May Lighthouse has stood at the southernmost tip of Cape May County since 1859.  This beautiful  image was captured by talented local photographer Noelle Guest!

THE AVALON HOME AND LAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION will meet at Community Hall on Saturday, April 11, 2020, beginning at 9:30am.  Speaking at 10am will be Joseph Rizzuto, Executive Director of the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority, and Tom Thornton, Avalon’s Municipal Engineer.  Information tables will be open before and after the speakers.

HAVE A GREAT CAPE MAY COUNTY PHOTOGRAPH?  DoTheShore.com is looking for cover photographs for its upcoming issues!  If you’ve got a showstopper, consider submitting it to the magazine!  Entry guidelines can be found here:  www.dotheshore.com/content/your-photo-could-be-cover-do-shore-magazine

FIREBOAT 13  has been placed in service by the Stone Harbor Volunteer Fire Company.  The 2020 Harborguard vessel has both fire and EMS capabilities, including a 1,000 gallon-per-minute pump, and folding doors allowing patient entry on both sides of the boat.  Fireboat 13 will be docked on a boat lift and available year round.  Thanks to the Stone Harbor Fire Company for the photo and information.

THE BOAT BUILDERS OF SOUTH JERSEY are chronicled in an interesting article by Captain Karl Anderson.  Long-time boaters may remember names such as Post and Pacemaker, and even non-boaters may know of Viking Yachts.  All of them (and more) got their start in South Jersey’s back bays.  Anderson provides a brief history of several South Jersey boat builders here:  http://captkarlanderson.com/uncategorized/the-boat-builders-of-south-jersey/

THE BEST FREE ZOO IN NJ:  The Cape May County Zoo was named the best free zoo in New Jersey by OnlyInYourState.com.  Whether you’re looking for a way to entertain the kids for an hour, or want to spend a day exploring every exhibit and trail, you can’t beat the Cape May County Zoo.  Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.  There are also upgraded experiences that can be added on for a fee.  From lions and tigers to giraffes, birds, and reptiles, you’ll find a little bit of everything!  The zoo is located off Exit 11 of the Garden State Parkway, and is open year-round, except Christmas Day.
