Manalapan Day was a blast right from the start!! (See my original post about the event: Manalapan Under the Stars).
The weather threatened but in the end the sun won!! It might have been a little warm at times, but we'll take it as opposed to the wash-out the event was last year!!!
For myself, Gail and the rest of the Weichert Team, the fun started long before the official event! Overcoming the hostile wind and setting up our tent was challenging!! We heaved and we ho'd and we finally got it up and secured! It seemed each one of us were able to contribute something to get the job done. Yeah Team!! Unfortunately some of the other vendors weren't quite so lucky!! Tents were rolling, signs were falling, folks were scurrying!
Thankfully, the wind calmed down in time for kickoff at 4:00! Folks started pouring in!! Everyone was having a great time! Lots of vendors selling, cooking and teaching! Kids were having a blast on the blow up rides and pony rides! Lot's of entertainment on the main stage (sponsored by Elite Fitness of Manalapan and Freehold).
As a Manalapan resident for almost 20 years, I always enjoy the chance to catch up with so many old friends and past customers... for a few clients this was their first time at Manalapan Day!!
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Manalapan township photo contest submissions! This year's theme was "Fur & Feathers." Of course, I was biased as my daughter entered... Go Danni!!!
Gail and I were happy to see so many other members of our new networking group, Monmouth County Leadz! Doctor Joffe (Chiropractor), Doctor Max (Pediatric Dentist) and Jim Scott (Bridge Financial Group) were all there! We were also very happy to meet some new potential members!
As the sun just started to go down it was time for the main event, Tommy James and the Shondells! Young and old were singing and swaying!
Top it all off with an amazing fireworks display and the day was a roaring success! Thanks again to Danni for some great fireworks photo's!
