BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
By Neil Simon • Nominated! 1964 Tony Award for Best Play • Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He's a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she's a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. After a six day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic Velasco, where everything that can go wrong, does. Paul just doesn't understand Corie, as she sees it. He's too staid, too boring and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous, running "barefoot in the park" would be a start... "A bubbling, rib-tickling comedy." - The New York Times

86th Annual Oceanside Labor Day Pier Swim
Monday, September 7, 2015 | 7:00am - 12:00pm
The Annual Oceanside Labor Day Pier Swim is a 1.1 mile open water swim around the Oceanside Pier. The first Labor Day Pier Swim occurred in 1929 but in the 19 70's the Oceanside Swim Club took over the event for the city and it became the primary fundraiser for the club. As swimmers dive into the surf, circle around the pier, ride the waves back the beach and race to the finish line on the sand, they help sustain the Oceanside Swim Club (OSC). OSC is a non-profit organization and competitive swim team for children 5-18 years of age. The money raised from this event provides scholarships for qualifying athletes why may have never entered the competition pool had it not been made more affordable by the club. Funds from the event are also used to purchase new equipment and provide supplemental training for both swimmers and coaches.
Last year over 500 swimmers competed in the event making it one of the most successful events in the last few years. From long time participants in the their 70's and 8-'s to injured military veterans, the event attracts a wide variety of athletes. However, the competition and the postrace exhibition make it a fun event for the entire family. The Pier Amphitheater serve as the venue for the post-race festivities where a variety of vendors for adult spectators and athletes. For the past few years the club has commissioned a local artist, Bill Richardson, to create the design for the event t-shirts. His unique designs make the t-shirt one of the highlights of the events. As one participant stated, she competes every year just for the t-shirt! The event is also made possible by several sponsors who support the event... their company logos share a canvas with the highly sought after Pier Swim t-shirts.
Last Year's live entertainment was a nice addition and the music will be back again to keep the crowd rocking. So this Labor Day come out to the Oceanside Pier as an athlete or a spectator and support the Oceanside Swim Club. Interested parties can register online and find more information about the event at labordaypierswim.com.
