Beverages will include lemonade and root beer on tap. Beer and wine will also be available at a cash bar.

Old-fashioned picnic games the whole family can enjoy will include egg toss, a balloon head race, water balloon toss and egg-and-spoon relay races.

“Our Family Pig Roast and BBQ event is the result of numerous volunteers and local businesses donating their time and resources.  It's going to be a blast,” said Barbara Cona, executive director of BHF. “Beach Haven Future recently completed a well-received planter project along Bay Avenue, with generous contributions from the Beach Haven Taxpayers Association and the Garden Club of LBI.  Raising funds at events like this, as well as the sale of our new BHF T-shirts designed by Jetty, will allow us to continue,” she added.

Tickets for the event cost $25 for adults and $5 for children ages 6 to 12; anyone younger than 6 is free. All proceeds will benefit BHF, to help beautify the town.
