Happy Tuesday, Monmouth County! I’ve decided summer is the one time of year where getting ice cream “just because” is completely acceptable. No occasion needed, no explanation required, and I am taking full advantage.

Bags, Boards & Bands at Monmouth Park

Corn hole season is officially in full swing, and there's no better place to show off your skills than Bags, Boards & Bands at Monmouth Park on Saturday, August 8, from 12 to 6 PM.

Whether you're the friend who never misses the board or just here for bragging rights, there's a tournament for you. Players can choose between a Competitive Division with cash prizes or a Social Division for a more laid-back game with non-cash prizes. Add in live music, horse racing, and a summer afternoon at the track, and you've got the perfect excuse to round up your favorite teammate and see who really deserves to call themselves the corn hole champion.

Step Back in Time for a Victorian Laundry Demonstration

Laundry day has never looked quite like this. On Sunday, August 9, from 1 to 2:30PM, step back in time for a Victorian Laundry Demonstration and see just how much work it took to wash clothes before modern appliances existed.

Watch as historic interpreters light a wood stove, heat water, scrub garments by hand, and iron aprons using traditional techniques. It's a fascinating look at everyday life in the late Victorian era and a reminder that today's laundry room might not be so bad after all. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for something unique to do, this demonstration is sure to leave you with a whole new appreciation for the spin cycle.

Brick Oven Pizza Comes to the Farm This August

Trade the crowded restaurant for a relaxing evening in the countryside at Pizza on the Farm on Friday, August 7, from 5 to 8PM. This first-ever summer event at OASIS tlc serves up fresh brick oven pizza, salad, dessert, and plenty of laid-back farm vibes.

Bring your favorite drinks, challenge your friends to a game of cornhole, and enjoy a summer evening surrounded by the farm. While you're there, browse the OASIS art gallery and pick up farm-fresh favorites like homemade soap, jam, and eggs from the farm store. It's the kind of Friday night that reminds you the best summer plans don't have to be complicated.

Paint, Sip & Catch the Sunset at Wave Resort

Some summer evenings are meant to be savored, and this is one of them.

Head to Wave Resort on Thursday, August 13, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM for Sunset Sip & Paint, an oceanfront experience where you'll create your own beach-inspired canvas tote bag while soaking in sweeping views of the Atlantic.

Your ticket includes a guided painting session with Boozy Brushes, a premium canvas tote to take home, and all the supplies you'll need. No artistic talent required, just show up ready to relax, enjoy the scenery, and have a little fun.

Whether you're planning a girls' night, date night, or simply looking for a different way to spend a summer evening, this is the kind of event that's equal parts creative, coastal, and Instagram-worthy.
