BAY HEAD — Avast you scurvy dogs! Bay Head School welcomed the gloomy conditions with their annual Davy Jones Day.
This day was a massive fair held on the school grounds with water slides, bouncy castles, carnival games, treats, barbecues, petting zoos, fire truck rides and so much more.
Vanessa Grant, chair of Davy Jones Day, told The Ocean Star, “This is an end-of-year give back to the community. This is a fun-day, and end of school year fun-day that has been an ongoing tradition in Bay Head forever.”
Grant took over this event five years ago and has attempted to try and make this event bigger and better every year. While the rains did come, residents and their families braved the conditions to enjoy all the festivities.
“The kids look forward to it every year, along with myself, parents, teachers and residents. This is a fun way to thank the community for all their support and just give back,” said Grant. “We love the community. What better way to give back than to entertain them and have fun.”
She said this event reminded her of the movie “Grease,” where at the end of the school year, Rydell High School would hold a fair. She compared Davy Jones Day to this fair, despite the lack of flying cars.
