Aberdeen Day 2012 was a day full of events throughout the entire township.
Attendees had the opportunity to try and catch the largest fish of the day at Cliffwood Beach Park, ride kiddie rides and browse classic cars at the Matawan Regional High School, rock out during Aberdeen's Got Talent at Strathmore Shopping Center, and cheer on the Department of Works, Aberdeen Police Department, or the Aberdeen Fire Department during the Mayor's Trophy Softball Game at Fireman's Field. Livoti's and DeMarco's each hosted an afternoon party in their respective parking lots.

Hi Barbara,
I'm sorry that you missed the fireworks! The fireworks show was scheduled for after the Mayor's Trophy softball tournament (which started at 6:30) at the softball field at the intersection of Lloyd Road and Gerard, near St. Joe's. They did them a little earlier than planned because of the rain Saturday night, but I don't think they started until about 9 p.m.

Chesea,
Thank you for the great coverage of Aberdeen Day. This was the first year the celebration was town-wide. From the Fishing contest to the Fireworks was nearly a
12 hour day of celebration. The best part of Aberdeen Day was the cooperation of the business community and Town Hall. ALL of Aberdeen Day was accompished with donations from the community and friends of Aberdeen. The Fireworks were donated by a company moving into Aberdeen after Jan 1st. That's a company establishing great relationship with all of Aberdeen...welcome Tom Roman of Quality First Basements. Thanks to the Aberdeen Economic Business Council for all your support. I hope all had a good time.
