Wildwood Fishing and Boating Expo Expands to Three Days This Weekend

 The Eighth Annual Wildwood Fishing and Boating Expo kicks off at the Wildwoods Convention Center, offering three days of boat displays, fishing gear, and marine services. Featuring 14 boat dealers and nearly 100 vendors, the event also includes free seminars on fishing and boating topics. Attendees can enter daily raffles to win a Yeti 65 cooler, and special deals with manufacturer rebates and warranties are available. The show runs from Friday through Sunday, with tickets priced at $10 for adults and free parking.

Diggerland USA Set for Growth with New Ownership by IAM

 Innovative Attraction Management (IAM) has acquired Diggerland USA, a popular construction-themed park in West Berlin, NJ. Diggerland USA has earned a reputation for its unique attractions, offering guests the chance to control machinery like diggers and backhoes in a supervised, safe environment. The park has become a go-to destination for families looking for an engaging alternative to traditional amusement parks, blending fun with hands-on learning. The park seems to be in good hands as IAM’s leadership got their start as hourly cast members at Walt Disney World. IAM plans to invest in infrastructure, introduce new technology-driven attractions, and enhance guest services while preserving the park’s unique, educational focus. This acquisition strengthens IAM’s portfolio in the family entertainment sector.

With Party Line Gone, Spadea Joins Fulop in Ditching County Conventions

 Gubernatorial candidate Bill Spadea has decided not to attend the Cape May GOP Convention, signaling a shift toward direct voter engagement rather than traditional party conventions. His campaign manager cited the limited impact of organizational endorsements in past elections and criticized outdated campaign strategies. This move follows a similar decision by Democratic candidate Steven Fulop, highlighting the declining influence of county conventions since the elimination of the party line. Spadea’s participation in other county conventions remains undecided.
