To shed the remnants of a difficult 2020 for many, the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. and Emergency Medical Services is hosting a picnic in the park for the community on Friday, July 30. The event is scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Zachariae Ball Field at Division Street and Barnegat Avenue, located next to the boat ramp.

“Our goal for this fundraiser is to have a community-wide, family friendly evening out to celebrate summer and the return to normal,” event organizers said.
