Warren County Wanderings

Starting May 25, 2022

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."- Joseph Campbell, American writer

As the first taste of summer rolls around this Memorial Day weekend and we look forward to family, barbeques and parades, we remember those who have made these privileges possible. We are grateful to all who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. military, but on Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who died - the ultimate sacrifice - while serving our country. To commemorate the occasion, in this issue you will find parades stepping off in Blairstown, Phillipsburg and Hackettstown; and a service at Veterans Rally Point in Lopatcong.

On a lighter note, Land of Make Believe, opens for the season this weekend, celebrating 68 years of family fun; Well-Sweep Herb Farm welcomes you to its Spring Open House complete with tours, food, crafts and vendors; Memorial Motor Madness returns to Mars Wrigley for 26th year; and much more!

Happy Memorial Day and Happy Wanderings!

June Murder Mystery Dinner @ Four Sisters

Formal wine tasting followed by dinner, dessert and dessert wine. As the evening progresses, the story unravels with murder, a victim and several suspects. Everyone is a detective and the chosen characters will act out their parts adding a little personality of their own.

ParkFest @ Bread Lock Park

A free day of music, art, history, literature, and more returns to a Warren County park at an historic Morris Canal site. ParkFest features an art show in the barn by local artists, exhibits by history and heritage groups, and “Authors Alley” to meet published authors and discuss their work. The Warren Heritage Museum on site will be open, and food vendors round out "a day in the park." Musical entertainment throughout the day on the ParkFest stage – built into the side of a barn with open air seating – will be from Serene Green with traditional Bluegrass, Sycamore Banjo Band with favorite tunes from the 1920s and the heyday of radio, and Don Kincaid & The Wait, an Americana Alt-Country band. A second stage has been added this year, as guitarist Walt Bibinger will play in the pavilion near the museum.
