EZ PASS IS COMING to Ocean Drive bridges in Cape May County.  The $500,000 upgrade was authorized in February, but installation work was delayed until after Labor Day.  Even when the installation is complete, bridge tenders will still be needed to open the bridges for boat traffic. 

FRIDAY NIGHT SPORTS begins this Friday at Avalon Community Hall.  Kids ages 5 through 15 are invited to try some dodgeball, wiffleball, flag football, or kickball.  Ages 5-10 will play each Friday from 6-7:30pm and ages 11-15 will play from 7:30-9pm, through November 17th.  For more info contact the Avalon Recreation Department at 609-967-3066 or email cmcdonnell@avalonboro.org.

FALL FOLIAGE TRIPS!  Cape May Seashore Lines will run two more Fall Foliage trips this weekend, between Tuckahoe and Richland.  Ride the rails through South Jersey’s pinelands as the greens of summer give way to the reds, oranges, and yellows of fall!  Tickets are $17 for adults and $10 for children.  Click here for more info and tickets:  http://www.capemayseashorelines.org/cmsl.php
