Manasquan tree lighting and candy cane hunt tomorrow

Manasquan's 19th annual tree lighting ceremony is happening tomorrow night, Friday, Dec. 4, at 6:30 p.m so bring your kids and have a festive time! The ceremony
will take place in Squan Plaza, on Abe Voorhees Drive. Santa Claus will even be in attendance, and you can get free hot chocolate on Main Street. Following the tree lighting, the 19th annual candy cane hunt for children ages 10 and younger will get under way. Children are asked to line up after the tree ceremony, and will receive a candy cane from a chamber volunteer. Each candy cane is numbered, and the children must search the Main Street business district to find the store that has a matching candy cane number displayed in its window. Once they have found their matching stores, children may visit the stores, where they will receive a wrapped prize. Also, there will be caroling and live music throughout the evening, so don't miss out on this wonderful Holiday event.

Waffles and More in Point Pleasant, NJ

Great place with delicious. fresh food in Point Pleasant. We went there for breakfast and it was wonderful, and very family-friendly. My daughter had scrambled eggs and a pancake, which she loved. The rest of us all tried the exact same dish, as it sounded delicious and did not disappoint. It was a spicy chicken, chorizo and avocado omelette burrito, grilled to perfection with the most amazing salsa - it was all obviously fresh, and the salsa had a unique twist of capers and olives mixed in. We are already looking forward to trying the rest of the menu, and they serve lunch and dinner as well. 5 stars!! Waffles and More, 732-295-1289, 1 Ocean Ave, Point Pleasant at the inlet.
