Food Filled Weekend Planned in Freehold

The holidays start next week but there is still plenty to do in Freehold this weekend including a choice of dinners on Saturday, a breakfast on Sunday and a traditional cultural experience Sunday night.

Before the food starts rolling out on Saturday the Freehold High School Dance Team and sophomore class will be hosting a Zumbathon on Friday afternoon. Tickets are just $5 for a hone hour class with the proceeds helping a local Thanksgiving food drive and activities for the two organizing groups.

One option for dinner on Saturday comes from the Hope Lutheran Church  which will hold a full  Roast Beef Dinner for just $10 for adults and $5 for children under the age of 12. There will also be a vegetarian lasagna for those not interested in having a meat entree. The event is part of the “New Life, New Hope” campaign as the church nears the end of its mortgage on recent work on the building.

In downtown Freehold the Freehold Elks will be hosting a spaghetti dinner which will benefit the lodge and Special Needs Boy Scout Troop 454 of Monmouth County. Tickets are $10 and include salad the main course, garlic bread, a drink and one sheet of 25 auction tickets. More tickets can also be purchased at the event.

A dinner with the Elks could lead to breakfast with the Knights of Columbus on Sunday as they offer their monthly breakfast buffet at Council Hall. The buffet includes cold cereal, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, french toast, a variety of breakfast meats and bread choices as well. The cost is just $9 for adults and $5 for children under the age of 12.

On Sunday night The Italian American Association of Monmouth County will host a rousing evening of “Tombola” at a local restaurant. Sapori will be the place to be for the game that is usually held around Christmas time with lots of prizes and food available throughout the night. The cost is $30 for adults and $15 for children.
