- Teacher Appreciation Night & Beach Day (Point Pleasant)Jenkinson's Boardwalk, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
UPDATE: HERE IS THE LINK TO PRE-REGISTER AND BEAT THE LINE!:
Registration check in starts at 4pm; the ride park will open at 6pm.
It looks like teachers will want to have their "family" with them so they can all get their wristbands together. (So, teachers, make sure your "posse" is with you before you get your wristband!)
==============================================================
Teacher Appreciation Night!!!!!Calling all of our amazing educators!

**************************************************************************
*So, here's what I'm thinking. Teachers ride the rides for FREE, and maybe they get us non-teachers on some rides too. (If not, we hang out and look like sad puppy dogs. It may depend on how strict or flex they are about "immediate family". Worst case, we hang out at Point Pleasant!)
And we can all make our own plans (e.g., book a room, book a campsite, stay with a friend, etc.) to stay over DTS ("Down the Shore" for non-Jersey natives), and we'll hit the beach at Point Pleasant the next day. (As all real Jerseyans know, this is the last weekend that the beaches are FREE because the following weekend is MDW [Memorial Day Weekend]).
[If this event sounds familiar, I did post it last year....and it went over like a lead balloon! Part of that was the rain (there were so many rained out events last summer!), but part of it was that....maybe it was just a lousy idea! But, since I am a glutton for punishment, I am posting it again! Let's see what happens!!] :-)
