Scene Around: Fishing for Summer Fun & Education
They went fishing for a fun day and reeled in the biggest of catches — a fun, educational day.
On Wednesday, Aug. 10, Immediate Care Medical Walk-In hosted its 7th Annual Kids Fishing Trip.
About 60 children and adults from community organizations Father Time, Frances Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex County enjoyed a day of fishing at the Immediate Care Walk-In of Red Bank’s 7th Annual Kids’ Fishing Trip.
A 75-foot charter boat left out of Atlantic Highlands guided by Captain Mike and deckhands, Dee, Zack, and Sissy.
During the excursion, the Immediate Care team showed the kids how to bait their rods, cast and reel in when they got a bite. Members of American Littoral Society, the environmental group headquartered at Sandy Hook, also joined the event to teach the children about the different species of fish and which are tagged and returned to sea due to size.
There was breakfast and lunch at sea and a day full of fluke fishing, learning, fun, prizes and gifts.

Simple Summer: Jazzing it Up in the Park
There’s nothing simpler or more fun than some sweet summertime dancing to the beat of a band in a park — or your own drummer, for that matter.
It’s all golden summer fun when there’s a little dancing to the ever-so-popular band Line Drive at Jazz in the Park in Red Bank. And last Thursday night there was dancing, a lot of it spearheaded by one person literally doing the dancing to the beat of her own drummer, actually. That would be Lucille LoSapio (center in the featured photo) who was literally dancing to the beat of her own drummer — her husband, Gary Dates, longtime drummer with Line Drive.
Line Drive is in revival mode and playing all over the place again. Aside from some other dancing divas in the park, there was one who got a special birthday serenade. That would be the Red Bank Recreation girl at the entrance. Know her? She got the crowd spirited from the start at the entrance.
Jose Loo, Line Drive’s forever lead vocalist, now also on the keyboard, sang to the birthday girl (appropriately vested for the job) and the crowd joined in.
Solid gold? Why, yes, all that jazzy dancing, easy listening and riverfront scenery sure is. No need to complicate the simplest of summer spendor in a day when you could be dancing … yeah!
Take a look at the above photo gallery for a glimpse into the Jazz in the Park fun. (CLICK on one photo to enlarge and scroll. Enjoy!)
Jazz in the Park at Riverside Garden Park on Front Street in Red Bank will feature the Stephane Wremble Trio this Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m.. Line Drive will be appearing at Triumph Brewing in Red Bank on Friday. Click here for more on Line Drive updates.
