CRYING ON THE CAMINO
2021-09-30 19:00 | Gateway Playhouse, Bay Avenue, Somers Point, NJ, 08244, United States
This solo show “CRYING ON THE CAMINO” is a true account of one woman’s journey along the Camino de Santiago on route to the Cathedral Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. Celeste Mancinelli chronicles the highs and lows of a true adventure on the path, taking us on a pilgrim’s journey full of hilarity, everyday horrors, and ultimately, spiritual reflection.

This is what happens when someone “Prepares for the worst, hopes for the best and takes what comes…”
Written and performed by Celeste Mancinelli (NYC Nunsense – A Girl’s Guide to Chaos” – My Big Fat Gay Italian Wedding/Funeral), “Crying on the Camino” was conceived and developed at the Wynn Handman Studios in NYC. Directed by Richard Sabellico.

At the conclusion of the parade, the Beauty and the Leash pageant will begin. Contestants can be entered to compete in one of two categories: “Talent” or “Costume/Look Like Owner.” The winner in each category will be awarded a gift certificate to The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Company, a casual eatery located at 55 West Laurel Drive in Somers Point.
Throughout the event, attendees interact with local businesses, who are invited to connect with community members by handing out coupons, menus, samples, and even discuss potential job opportunities. Representatives from Sturdy Bank will make balloon animals for children in attendance.
“This event brings all of the great things about living and working in Somers Point together,” said Mike Smith, the Vice President of Somers Point Business Association and a founding member of Somers Point-Community First. “The turnout for the pageant in 2019 was unbelievable, and we expect another great response. We’re excited to expand the scope of our Beauty and the Leash pageant from previous years to give a chance for local businesses to promote themselves and personally connect with those who live in our community.”
There is no RSVP required to enter the pageant. Businesses interested in attending should contact Mike Smith at michael.smith@shoremedicalcenter.org by Sept 16. There is no fee to participate.

Somers Point Good Old Days Festival 2021
2021-09-11 12:00 - 18:00 | John F. Kennedy Park, 50 Broadway, Somers Point, NJ
A festival featuring a variety of music (2 stages), antique cars, children’s activities, community group participation, and hot dogs, hamburgers, and sodas.
The proceeds from the “Good Old Days” festival benefit the Lawrence “Bud” Kern Memorial Trust Fund.
This fund was established in 1979 to recognize graduating high school students from Somers Point who have demonstrated community spirit and pride and through their involvement in civic and scholastic activities have displayed a singular dedication to purpose.
Recipients are chosen annually and receive scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. The memorial fund honors Lawrence “Bud” Kern, former Recreation Commission Chairperson and Little League President. Bud was instrumental in the development of recreation facilities and programs within Somers Point. He expanded countless volunteer hours in service to his community. It was his idea to have an end-of-summer community picnic, which gave rise to this event.
Through supporting and recognizing high school students who reflect the qualities that made Bud Kern such a special individual, we hope in some small way to perpetuate his spirit.
