For the past four years, the Everyday Heroes Festival has honored those that serve and protect. The NJ State PBA-sponsored all-day free festival again was held Sept. 26 in Seaside Heights. Live bands performed from 11 a.m. until dusk and the day was capped with fireworks. “This is one of our favorite events all year,” said Dee Pellegrino, Marketing Director for Press Communications, organizer of the event. “It’s our way of saying thank you to our law enforcement, firefighters, military and all emergency service workers who sacrifice so much to ensure our freedom and keep us safe.” This event coincides with the “Everyday Heroes” program Press Communications airs on its group of radio stations. “We never want the public to forget the hardship and sacrifice our emergency workers and their families make for us,” emphasized Pellegrino.
