News from Around the South Jersey Shore

Need something to do in Sea Isle City? Check out these events. Not only is there that Polar Bear Plunge I mentioned before (I really am trying to clear my schedule to go), but a table tennis tournament, too. And nothing warms the heart like two paddles and a ping pong ball.

Rev your engines: the power boats are back in Atlantic City.

More about birding in Cape May.

Here's a closer look at how toll hikes could affect your shore drives.

When I think of "shore weddings," I think of Cape May (it is, after all, the third most popular destination wedding spot in the US). But this couple though "Sea Isle" for theirs. Remember, though, that if you want to get married quick, there's always Atlantic City on February 14.

This'll be great for Valentine's Day (or at least the day after): Boxing at the Showboat in Atlantic City.

SpongeBob!!! At the Wetlands Institute!!! This Saturday!!!

And a special welcome to all the Dixie Picnic fans stopping by today! If you're not part of their mailing list (and if not, why aren't you?), the Dixie Picnic folks just sent an email out to their list about this blog. If you did get that email, know this: Yes, I really am a big Dixie Picnic fan. No, I didn't ask the folks at Dixie Picnic to send around that email (though it was a big, fun, happy surprise, and I completely felt like I was watching one of those segments on Extra about how 'famous clients of Dixie Picnic include...Jen A. Miller!' but on the South Jersey shore level -- nothing like being a Z-list celebrity, I tell ya) and, yes, I really did order three dozen Upcakes for an event I'm hosting this weekend. They're that good -- really!
