The first-ever “Blessing of the Bikes: East Coast” is New Jersey’s version of Moose International’s event by the same name, which happens each May out in Illinois. Locally, the blessing will take place at the Beach Haven Moose Lodge on Route 72 in Manahawkin on Sunday, May 19, starting at 11 a.m.
Moose Rider and event organizer Angelo Sammartano explained the event will begin with a blessing by Peter Salomon, chaplain of the Toms River chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association.
