Ocean Grove Giant Craft Show

Another craft show is coming up! This one's in historic Ocean Grove. What a beautiful seaside resort Ocean Grove is. So many lovely gingerbread houses and bed and breakfasts. And the amazing Auditorium with the huge organ and the American Flag that lights up where so many fabulous concerts are held (my mom and I will be there tomorrow night to see The Irish Tenors). I have so many wonderful memories of Ocean Grove. My high school graduation took place in the Auditorium. I even lived there for a short while when I was a child. I remember my friends and I dancing and singing down the middle of the streets on Sundays. Years ago, Ocean Grove didn't allow cars to be driven on its streets on Sundays. You had to park in Asbury Park and walk into the Grove. Oh, it was so peaceful and beautiful!

And now this enormous craft show! It will be held on Ocean Pathway (between the Auditorium and the Boardwalk Pavilion) running from Ocean Avenue to Central Avenue. I'll be there with my broken china and sea glass jewelry.

And my cousin Frederica Castle will be sharing the booth with me. She is a very talented artist who lives in Ocean Grove whose works can be found at the Main Avenue Galleria in, of course, Ocean Grove! (We just love everything about this town!) Freddi's a member of the Guild of Creative Art in Shrewsbury, NJ, and the Manasquan River Group of Artists in Manasquan, NJ. Here's the link to the art gallery webpage where you can see just how talented Freddi is.

So if you're anywhere near Ocean Grove on August 30th, don't miss this opportunity to check out one of the largest craft shows in the area. And I hope you'll stop by and say hi to me and Freddi. Please forgive me, friends, if I'm not online much for the next week. I have a lot to do to get ready for the big day! Hope to see some of you there.
