Though we had to postpone the Candy Cane Hunt last Friday because of the weather, we are pleased to announce the festivities are on tonight!

Today, Dec. 13, the festivities will begin around 6 p.m. in downtown Manasquan. The tree lighting ceremony is set for 6:20 p.m., and the Candy Cane Hunt will immediately follow at 6:30 p.m. Don’t forget — instead of Squan Plaza, candy canes will be given out on Main Street this year, near the intersection of Pearce Avenue and Manasquan Lighting.

Please bring a non-perishable item to donate to the Manasquan Food Pantry. Items will be collected in bins on Main Street.

We hope to see you tonight, and don’t forget to bundle up — it’s chilly out there!
