“We are absolutely ecstatic that Kinderhook and Trigger will be performing on the same stage at our 10-Year Anniversary Fundraiser. That has not happened in over 50 years! Add main-stay Jersey Shore musicians, The Ned Ryerson Band, Matt Noffsinger, Joe Faronea, Jimi DeLucci, 3 Daze ‘Til Sunday, Ronnie Brooks plus some other very special musical guests, and we are going to have one pretty big party at the River Rock come Sunday May 31st” mentioned Walt Konopka, co-chairperson of The Barbara Forfar Nursing Scholarship Fund and brother to the late Mrs. Forfar.

“The afternoon will be packed with music, food, fun and games for the entire family and will have a Jersey Shore back-yard party feel while looking over the Manasquan River. We will have the inside and outside bars rocking, great food and drink will be served and there will be much more for everyone.”

“We want to thank the River Rock owners, management and staff, all of sponsors and donors and all our musical performers for working closely with us to make our 10-Year Anniversary Fundraiser happen. It will be a fantastic afternoon. I would suggest that everyone purchase your tickets in advance and arrive as early as possible as May 31 at the River Rock is really going to be something very special” Konopka finished.
