“Pick of the Batch” to Showcase Craft Beers
Come sip, savor and have a great time.
Cape May Brewing Company will welcome autumn on Saturday, October 12, with a brand new family-friendly event called the Pick of the Batch.
“Most people are familiar with an Oktoberfest,” says Events Coordinator Randi Friel, “but with Pick of the Batch, Cape May Brewing Company is breathing new life into a two-hundred-year-old tradition. It’s not just about beer: It’s about all of our exclusive brews you won’t be able to get anywhere else. Ever.”
The festival-style setting will feature beer, music and family activities from 2 to 6 p.m. behind Cape May Brewing Company’s tasting room at 1288 Hornet Road in Rio Grande.
FEMA Grant Helps Atlantic County Communities
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded a $7.3 million grant to partially reimburse property owners with the cost of elevating homes in six Atlantic County communities.
The grant will reimburse homeowners at least 75 percent of the cost of elevating 48 homes in Brigantine, Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, Longport and Somers Point. The remaining cost will be the responsibility of property owners.
