Did you know that The Ocean County Fair has been a staple event in Ocean County since 1947. By 1967, the one-day “Ocean County Field Day” had become a three-day “Ocean County Fair” with the participation of over 80 4-H clubs, and attendance of over 60,000 people.
In 1982 the Ocean County Fair was expanded to a four-day event. Today, the Ocean County Fair is held for five days from Wednesday to Sunday where it has remained a non-profit educational event celebrating the entire Ocean County community.

โจโญ๏ธToday is National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day! Today & every day we celebrate all of our Ocean County “Mom & Pop’ Businesses! โญ๏ธโจ
โญ๏ธMeet The Shoemaker Family of Lavallette Hardware located in Lavallette! โญ๏ธ
The Shoemaker Family has been in the hardware business in one way or another for years. The passion began in the 1960’s when Bob, started at a hardware store in Ridgewood & eventually working as a hardware distributor. Bob’s son began working at the hardware store in 1994.
โญ๏ธWhat brought the family & business to Ocean County? โญ๏ธ
The family had a summer home in Lavallette, and in 2001 purchased @Lavallette Hardware, they relocated full time to Lavallette which made perfect sense as they started their new venture & the rest is history!
The family says that the best part of being a ” Mom & Pop” Business is, is getting to know their community & locals. They have the ability to cater to the needs and issues of the small island community. It gives them the ability to specialize in items that are needed locally which sets them apart from the big box retailers.
On any given day, you can see Bob, Betty, Randy, & family working hard at the store that so many have come to love.
โญ๏ธWhat does the family love about Ocean County? โญ๏ธ
The family history in Ocean County is almost 100 years! Since the 1930’s! Randy added, ” My grandmother’s family had a place in Seaside Heights. my father has been coming to Lavallette since he was a child and my mother’s family has ties to Ocean Grove, and I have been coming here since I was born.”
๐The family is always willing to support the community & local grade school too!
Just one of the many reasons to #shopsmallbusiness
Did you know that small businesses donate 250% more than large businesses to local nonprofits and community causes, creating a positive cycle of giving back locally.
Thank you for sharing your story with Ocean County Tourism ! Get out there and #supportlocal !
Happy National Mom & Pop Business Owners! You are the backbone to our community!
