A town tradition open to everyone is back: The annual fundraising auction evening of the Barnegat Light Volunteer Fire Co.’s Ladies Auxiliary is Saturday, Aug. 7, with the doors opening at 6 p.m.

The auction is held inside the firehouse, at West 10th Street and Central Avenue. With longtime townspeople sitting alongside new homeowners and first-time vacationers, the community event has raised more than $20,000 annually for the fire company in past years.
