This is the time of year we would have been looking forward to the 2020 Made In Monmouth event, one of my favorite of the year.

Of course, COVID-19 made it impossible for this year's event to take place at it's scheduled time, and that's a shame because this event is truly a celebration of so many great Monmouth County businesses.

We all know that it is more important than ever to support our local businesses, and we want to do all we can for area businesses. Monmouth County Freeholder Tom Arnone reminded everyone this weekend about the importance of this.

He reminded us of this and shared the link to the Made In Monmouth Directory. so we can do our part to help support businesses that produce great items, and they do it right here in Monmouth County.

So, a big shout out to all the great people who make Made In Monmouth such an amazing event each year, and here's to hoping we can all get together again real soon to celebrate your great products.

And remember, some of the most important things we can do right now is stay healthy, be safe and support local businesses. They have been there for you all these years, and now it's our turn to step up.
