For anyone who might be interested, I wanted to mention that there is a huge Italian American Festival this weekend in North Wildwood, NJ, hosted by the Wildwood Sons of Italy Lodge. Each year between 125,000 and 150,000 people attend. It opens tonight [4 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.], Saturday 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Entertainment includes Lena Prima, Verdi Band, Italian Dancers, Bobby Burnett, Danny & The Juniors, Little Miss Italy Contest, Grape Stomping Contest, Musical Musumeci, Carmen "D" Orchestra, The Four Aces, The Emeralds a'Capella, Junior Pirollo & the 4 J's with Billy Carlucci. There will be Raffle drawings, face paintings, clowns, even the monkey & organ grinder. Sunday morning there is an Italian Mass at St. Ann's RC Church at Magnolia & Atlantic Avenues, to open the last day of the feast. Should be lots of fun! There is a web site: www.nwiaf.com To get to North Wildwood, take exit 6 off the Garden State Parkway. Grace Lancieri Olivo
