Mornin’!

The holiday events keep rolling this weekend. With plenty of holiday markets and chances to meet Santa (and the Grinch!). Who says LBI is just a vacation town?

P.S. We’re working on creating the list of all lists for events happening on the island this New Years Eve. Stay tuned for that special edition email in the next week or so!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
