The Brick Township council this week approved vendor contracts for food, fireworks and a beer-and-wine garden at this year’s upcoming Summerfest concert series, set run Thursday from June 30 through July 21.
The fireworks contract was awarded to Schaefer Fireworks, of Ronks, Pa., for five fireworks displays at $4,960 – a total of $24,800. The contract also includes a display at the township’s Fall Fest event in October. Fireworks begin at dusk after each Summerfest performance and can be seen from Windward Beach as well as from boats on the Metedeconk River.
The beer and wine garden will be provided by the Mantoloking Road Alehouse, which submitted a $7,000 winning bid to run the concession. Likewise, the contract covers the Summerfest events and Fall Fest.
