Somerville-Area Family Fun Day To Benefit Volunteer Firefighters

SOMERVILLE, NJ - Looking for family fun this weekend to benefit a good cause?

The Somerville Fire Department will be hosting its Somerville Cusick’s Charity Corn Hole Tournament this Saturday, June 17, complete with prizes, free food, DJ, 50/50 raffle and a cash bar for adults. One free drink ticket is included with entry.

The event, which benefits the 187-year-old volunteer department, will take place in the parking lot of the Cusick Funeral Home (80 Mountain Ave.) starting at 1 p.m. The corn hole tournament will begin at 2 p.m.

All proceeds will benefit the local fire department, which responds to over 400 fire calls per year and counting as the borough continues to increase in size, organizers said.

"Our dedicated members are trained to handle and mitigate emergencies involving fire suppression, hazardous materials response, and other forms of rescue," organizers wrote in promotional materials for the event. "The department currently operates 3 engines and 1 truck along with other specialized equipment and utility vehicles out of 3 separate firehouses within the 2.2 square mile county seat of Somerset County."

Tickets start at $40 for adults and $100 for a corn hole team registration. Kids will be able to attend for free.

Tickets can be purchased here.
