Greetings from Freeholder John C. Bartlett, Jr.
On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, I welcome you to the Summer 2015 issue of Out & About Ocean County, A Free Newsguide to Arts & Heritage Events. Each summer, we have the opportunity to enjoy art and heritage events as well as the treasures of our beaches and natural resources.
On April 3, 2015, the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission hosted the fourth annual Salute to Ocean County at the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College.
I am sad to share the loss of yet another icon of the Ocean County cultural community. George Czurlanis was an American Hero: a totally disabled WWII combat veteran and the man most responsible for saving the two sites associated with the 1778 Affair at Little Egg Harbor, the largest military engagement to have occurred in what is now Ocean County. Ocean County’s arts and history organizations provide a rich tapestry of programs, events, and classes for your summer enjoyment. Many of our towns and boroughs provide wonderful outdoor concerts including the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation’s The Carousel of Music Concert Series to be held at various locations throughout the summer. The pages of this 2015 summer issue are graced with art work received in response to a request from the LBI Art Council.
Please join us for the Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department’s 75th anniversary celebration on June 27 from 4 PM to 8 PM at Ocean County Park in Lakewood on Route 88. Please take the time to visit our recently completed Cloverdale County Park in Barnegat. You will find a truly peaceful place to experience the Pinelands through an actual 19th century cranberry farm. Please take special note of our exciting palette of summer cultural opportunities in the event listings. Sincerely,
