Five Reasons to Love the Boardwalk in September

The first reason is obvious: It’s not quite as hot as it is in the dog days of July and August.  As a matter of fact, the weather is forecast for sunny skies with temperatures in the low 70s.  Speaking of dogs, you are now allowed to bring your leashed dog back to the beach.  Three: fewer people are on the beach.  You will find plenty of room to spread out your blanket.  Four:  the water is at its warmest of the season.  Five: lifeguards are still on duty so you will be safe.

Boardwalk Comes Alive During the 43rd Annual Neptune Festival

Boardwalk Weekend is September 29th Through October 1st

The absolute highlight of the Neptune Festival is the international Sand Castle Competition.  This runs just along the boardwalk under a HUGE tent to protect the creations from the elements from 4th through 10th street.  22 teams or individuals will dazzle you with their mind boggling sand sculptures.  There is a $5 admission charge for anyone over the age of 12.  You will be able to view the sandcastles for the entire week after the festival, though they look better in the beginning of the week.

While that is going on, there will be a regatta from Cape Henry to Rudee Inlet and an arts and crafts show along the boardwalk from 16th to 32nd.

And if that isn’t enough to make your head spin, there is a parade on Atlantic Avenue on Saturday.  The parade runs from 11:00 to 1:00.  You can view fireworks Saturday night at 9:00 anywhere along the boardwalk.  And there’s more…festival food everywhere you look and live music all day long Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the stages at 17th, 24th and 31st Streets.  So bring your lawn chairs and plant them in front of one of these stages and enjoy the fact that the tourists are gone!!!

Why and how to clean my washing machine Did you know that your washing machine can collect dirt and harbor bacteria and fungus? There is a thin film created by soap residue, minerals and chemicals from detergent. This can cause a clog in the inner workings of your machine, your water won't be as hot and the film also traps odors. The tiny crevices in the drum and gaskets can collect mildew and bacteria from your clothes. They can also harbor fungus. If you have a top loader here are some steps to follow when cleaning : Wipe interior seals around the door with all purpose cleaner Remove debris around filter or drain Use 1 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup baking soda then run a cycle on heat If you have a front loader here are some tips to follow when cleaning: Have a small bowl or towel ready to catch any excess water Remove the filter from the small door on the front panel of the machine Shake over trash can and rinse out. Use 1/2 cup baking soda and 3 cups white vinegar to scrub inside the drum and rubber gaskets You can use washing machine cleaner which can be purchased on line if you prefer Remove the fluids dispenser to clean each tray with disinfecting wipes Wipe out the area inside where the dispenser is located with the wipes If you have a "clean cycle" run the cycle, otherwise run the largest load setting on hot We hope this has been a quick and helpful guide for cleaning your washing machine . Remember, your washer should always smell fresh not like mildew.
