Mayor Leonard Desiderio
As I have said in the past, the fun doesn’t end on Labor Day here in Sea Isle City, because we have many terrific events happening throughout the year.
Case in point, on Saturday, September 7, we held our second annual Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony at Excursion Park, where more than 30 married couples repeated their wedding vows and renewed their love for one another in their favorite seashore town.
It’s always amazing to hear how many people have special connections to this community – and how much they enjoy being in Sea Isle City – and I am very grateful to all of the “love birds” who participated in this year’s wedding vow event!
Earlier this week, we hosted Sea Isle City’s annual Patriot Day Ceremony at Veterans Park, where a sizable crowd of residents and visitors gathered to honor the thousands of victims who died during the 9-11 attacks.
It’s difficult to believe that eighteen years have passed since terrorists used commercial airplanes to launch coordinated attacks against our nation on September 11, 2001 – however we can never let the passing of time lessen the importance of that terrible day and how it impacted not only our nation but all of the free world.
I hope that no matter where you were on Wednesday, you were able to stop for a moment to honor and remember the individuals and families who suffered unthinkable losses during those horrible attacks. God willing, we will never see another event like that ever happen again.
Looking ahead, Fall Family Festival takes place this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, September 14 and 15 – and the weather forecast looks outstanding.
Each year, this event includes a huge vendors market, a popular food court, free amusement rides, an antique auto show and other family-friendly entertainment that people look forward to all summer.
