Volunteers Needed At Manasquan Inlet Tug-Of-War

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — The organizers of the Manasquan Inlet Tug-Of-War are seeking additional volunteers for the event, which is set for Sunday.

The tug-of-war was originally scheduled for Oct. 1, but organizers were forced to postpone it to Oct. 9 because of the anticipated effects of the remnants of Hurricane Ian.

"We cannot make this happen without our volunteers and unfortunately due to the date change, we have lost a lot of the amazing people we were relying on to help make the day run smoothly," the Point Pleasant Beach Recreation Committee said in a post on Facebook.

There are 13 tugs planned for the event, which raises money for the Point Pleasant Beach and Manasquan recreation committees, and for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Here are times and areas where people can volunteer:

• Pre-Party Team Registration at BoatYard 401, 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Friday
• Set-up for the Tug-of-War: 7 a.m.-10:15 a.m. Sunday

During the event, shifts from 10:15 a.m.-1:30 p.m. or 1:30 p.m.-4:15 p.m. in the following areas:

• Volunteer Organization
• T-Shirt Table
• Registration Table
• Tug Team Gathering Tent
• Help on Tug Rope
• Clean up

"We truly appreciate everyone's support and help in making this event run despite the curveball that we were thrown!" the post said. Volunteers can sign up here.
