Regrettably, the coronavirus pandemic has put my “Greg’s List: Things to Do in Monmouth County this Weekend” column into a literary coma. If only for a while, hopefully. Monmouth County is too fun not to bounce back.

For nearly 8 years I never missed posting a weekend list. To keep the idea active, I’ve decided to focus on single events or activities for locals to consider. These being some of my personal favorites.
