Avalon Coffee...It's a Shore Thing
2898 Dune Drive, www.avaloncoffeecompany.com
 In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, the town of Avalon bounced quickly back and began business as usual before Thanksgiving...with the exception of Wawa, which remains closed and hopes to open in early March.
What was a town of avid coffee drinkers and sandwich lovers to do? Avalon Coffee to the rescue! Normally a seasonal business that closes for a break through the winter, Avalon Coffee Co. owners, Mike Nestor and Sean Ford, made the decision to remain open in the absence of Wawa.
Avalon Coffee's Avalon location has remained open through the winter months daily from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering its full menu of delicious breakfast sandwiches, muffins, crescents, smoothies, sandwiches...and of course, coffee.
 In addition, the company is also available for off-premise catering offering fresh bagels, sandwiches, sweets and coffee to go. This opportunity is perfect for business meetings, wedding brunches, family lunches and much more.
So the next time you're in a coffee crunch, remember. Avalon Coffee was there for you in your time of need!

3rd Annual Stone Harbor Shiver
Saturday, March 9 - 96th Street, Stone Harbor
On Saturday, March 9, more than 300 visitors to Stone Harbor will voluntarily jump into the frigid Atlantic Ocean. With temperatures in the teens this week, we can only hope that the weather will be slightly warmer in a month.
The 3rd Annual Stone Harbor Shiver will be held at the 96th Street Beach and will include music, costume contests and awards, games, food and fun. This year, the event committee selected three beneficiaries for the event: Friend In Need, the Cape May County Special Services School District and the Stone Harbor 9/11 Memorial Fund.
New this year will be the event's MC, the beloved Dan Skeldon, NBC40 weatherman. Save the date - and get ready for a cold shock. Fingers crossed the weather is full of sunshine and warm breezes!
Don't forget about the other great Shiver events! The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor will host the annual Pre-Plunge party with great food and auction items. This is where you can also pick up your registration packet and pre-register your team for the costume and name contest. Also visit Fred's Tavern on Saturday morning for the Kegs and Eggs Party and the start of the first-ever Plunge Parade that will travel down 96th Street to the beach.
