Head on over to the Manalapan Recreation Center on Saturday between noon and 10 p.m. for VETStock, a free outdoor music festival to benefit for wounded veterans.  Presented by the Manalapan Arts Council and the Brennan Stands Alone Foundation, VETStock’s goal is to raise money to help fund the rehabilitation and recuperation of wounded veterans and their families. 

There will be three stages showcasing a variety of live music, children’s entertainment, custom and classic car and bike shows, and craft and food vendors. 

Adults can take part in the classic car show, motorcycle show or poker run. Registration for the classic car show is a $15 donation. Registration for the motorcycle show is a $10 donation. Registration for the poker run, which will begin at American Legion Post 434, 11 Sanford St., Manalapan, and end at VETStock, is a $10 donation for drivers and $10 for a passenger. Prizes will be awarded for the best hand.

Registration forms for the car and motorcycle shows and the poker run can be obtained online by visiting VETStock NJ 2013 on Facebook or by sending an email to kathyonmain@yahoo.com.
