Postponed: The annual arts and craft fair at Viking Village in Barnegat Light planned for Memorial Day weekend has been postponed until Sunday, June 21. The event always marks the start of the summer season with a wide variety of high-quality arts and crafts, many from local artists. Event coordinator Pam Larson said the outdoor venue will be thoughtfully arranged so booths will be appropriately distanced from each other.

Helping Hands: Pine Shores Art Association volunteers and the Seaport Stitchers Quilt Guild in Tuckerton joined to support front-line medical personnel at local hospitals and other essential workers. They produced 1,500 masks for hospital personnel to use over top of their N95 masks, thereby prolonging their effectiveness.

The finished masks went mainly to Southern Ocean Medical Center in Manahawkin but were also sent to Community Medical Center in Toms River, Monmouth Medical Center, the N.J. State Troopers, Jersey Shore University Hospital and several other locations. Some fun stats on the mask making: 750 hours of labor, 270 bobbins refilled, 11 miles of thread.
