Weekend @ Monmouth

Without fail, Monmouth County Life has GregsList.

If you’re a TSA employee you’ll probably want to skip The Full Monty at the Count Basie Theatre and Playing Doctor at the First Avenue Playhouse.  Seeing either of those shows would be too much like being on the job.

Weekend @ Monmouth

Don’t forget the Brendan Marrocco Road to Recovery Benefit Diner tomorrow night, or to patronize a MMM advertiser the rest of the weekend.

Of course, there is always Gregslist for what to do between dining and shopping.

Weekend@Monmouth

Like clockwork, Greg Kelly has the calendar here.

Sunday evening is jam packed for the 6th congressional district:

At 5PM Governor Chris Christie, “America’s Governor” who is not running for President, will rally with Anna Little and her supporters at the American Legion in Piscataway.

Then at 7PM, Little will debate Frank Pallone at Temple Shalom in Aberdeen.

Do you think the announcement of the Christie rally had anything to do with Pallone agreeing to debate Little 2 hours later?  I do.

Do you think Governor Christie will attend the debate?  I hope he does, doubt he will, but it wouldn’t shock me.

Weekend @ Monmouth

This weekend marks the 9th anniversary of the 9-11 attack that shook our nation and had profound impact on so many families and communities in New Jersey.  There will be many memorial ceremonies throughout the area.

There’s a great deal more happening in Monmouth County this weekend too.  Greg Kelly @ Monmouth County Life went to the trouble of putting it all together in one place.
