Get Holiday Cooks Tour Tickets At Festival Of The Sea In Point Pleasant Beach

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — It may only be September, but the G. Harold Antrim Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization is in the Christmas spirit already.

That's because the PTO is gearing up for its annual Antrim Cooks Tour. The event is marking its 24th year and the theme is “Now That’s What I Call Christmas", celebrating the most iconic Christmas songs of all time, tour chair Paul Werner said.

On the tour, participants visit homes decorated for the event and sample food from various restaurants participating in the events.

The homeowners who participate in the tour allow PTO volunteers to come in and help decorate the homes, bring in catering from the participating restaurants and allow hundreds of people through their doors on the night of the tour, which is held in early December.

The Holiday Cooks Tour is one of the largest fundraisers the PTO does each year and pays for a variety of programs and items that help make the school year special for the children as well as the staff.

Werner said the tour committee is still finalizing all of the featured restaurants, but some of those participating restaurants include Joe Leone's, Jimmy's Cucina, Shore Fresh, Shore House, MOGO, and Top That Donuts.

Tickets are $65 and will be sold at the PTO's table at the seafood festival on Saturday. They also will be available for purchase online beginning Saturday. The online ticket link is here and will be live Saturday.

The PTO also will be selling tickets for the 50/50 that is drawn during the tour.
