CAPE MAY — “The Geator with the Heater,” “The Boss with the Red Hot Sauce,” Jerry Blavat will headline the entertainment as the city celebrates the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson discovering Cape Island.
At a July 1 City Council meeting, Mayor Edward J. Mahaney Jr. outlined events scheduled for Saturday August 29. He said Blavat, a Delaware Valley radio-television personality and Philly disk jockey dating back to the early 1960s, will entertain as part of a free beach party from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The party will be staged west of Henry’s on the Beach restaurant.
Mahaney said the day’s activities would begin at 9 a.m. with a volleyball tournament from the Great American Pro Volleyball League. He said 100 teams, with two players per team, would compete including men’s, women’s and mixed teams.
A parade will begin at 11 a.m. stretching from Pittsburgh to Patterson avenues. Three top bands from the New Year’s Mummers Parade will participate: South Philadelphia, Fralinger and Quaker City, said the mayor.
At 8 p.m., the Disney movie, “Blackbeard’s Ghost,” will be shown on the beach. Also at 8 p.m., the Sweet Adeline’s will perform at the Rotary Bandstand on Lafayette Street near the mall.
Mahaney said the summer season has an extra weekend at the end of August this year.
“We’ll put forth our best efforts to have an event that will draw people to town and make it successful while entertaining our local people and also having a nice send off to the summer of 2009,” he said.
