On Wednesday August 25, the American Hotel in Freehold Borough hosted the finale of “Freehold Idol” for the age groups 10-14 years old and 23 years of age and older. Talented people from all over the tri-state area, some as far as Manhattan, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City, gathered in one of the hotel’s many ballrooms [...]
Here's your mission if you choose to accept it, Freehold: DANCE.
Tonight, downtown Freehold will be rocked by the party band Mission Dance, a local favorite who recently gained national recognition by the US Commerce Association.
Mission Dance, a rare change-up for the typical cover-band fare of the Borough's Thursday night concert series, will inspire [...]
Freehold Borough's favorite singing competition, Freehold Idol, has some changes on the horizon.
The traditionally free, al fresco talent show that draws crowds in the hundreds in front of the Hall of Records will be moved indoors and will charge admission for audience members starting next week, according to the folks at Downtown Freehold.
Each week, dozens of budding performers muster up the courage to go before hundreds of spectators in for Freehold Idol in downtown Freehold and belt their favorite tunes--and their fates lie in the opinion of three local musical experts.
Community Contributor Lisa Schofield hit the streets to find out exactly how the judging process [...]
This was a very entertaining concert. The stage was moved back and to the side making more room for the audience, which was smaller than for the Nerds. It does look better in its new location, but it doesn’t leave much room to larger crowds. It was fun, though. The tribute bands play all the hits and get the audience into it.
Summer must be just around the corner, because Idol is back--and we don't mean the Simon Cowell vs. Ellen Degeneres kind.
Freehold Idol, the Borough singing contest modeled after the popular TV show American Idol will be back for another summer in 2010, and the applications to participate are now online.
The Freehold Center Partnership, Freehold Borough's special improvement district organization, held their yearly Board of Directors meeting yesterday to elect members, vote on bylaws, and pass their budget.
The partnership approved a yearly budget of $305,000, made up mostly of SID-taxes on properties within the district, along with sponsorships and barter-deals.
Congratulations to everyone! This is an impressive roster of town business leaders. We can all expect great things from this group. I wish them well.
My wife and I are so looking forward to the upcoming Summer Concert Series. In our opinion, last year was the best ever. Maybe we’re getting a bit long in the tooth, but seeing tribute acts like Elton John and Billy Joel in town really appealed to us. We especially enjoyed those outdoor evenings and are hoping for more of the same, this year.
Again, congratulations to all those elected and re-elected to serve on the board in 2010! As you go, so goes Freehold Borough. Serve well.
Thanks for the response, Jeff; that is just what I thought… it was a very great surprise indeed to read above that the budget was “made up mostly of state SID funding”!
Last night's Christmas Tree Lighting at the Hall of Records drew a couple of hundred people to Downtown Freehold on a mildly cold night to kick off the holiday season.

Here's a mystery for an ambitious gumshoe: what happened to this pretty lady's nose?
The hallmark statue of downtown Freehold--located at the front of the Hall of Records parking lot-- is looking a bit like Owen Wilson these days, and we're wondering who's run off with her honker.
With scarecrows still lining our leafy streets, Downtown Freehold is looking towards the holiday season. A new banner across Main Street announces the Holiday Happenings, including Breakfast with Santa, the Tree Lighting and Menorah Lighting, a Holiday Concert, and the Jolly Trolley.
The festivities kick off on December 1 with the Tree Lighting [...]

The concert was originally scheduled for August, but was rescheduled due to summer showers.
