Chowderfest Weekend was normally a moneymaker for the Beach Haven School PTA, as it provided parking at $10 per car for those going to the Merchants Mart on Saturday and the Chowder Cook-Off on Sunday. But with those events canceled due to the pandemic, the PTA needed to find another fundraiser.

The first happened last fall with an art, craft and gift show on the school playground. Based on its success, the PTA is having another similar event on Saturday, May 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
