Weekend Picks: Strollers and Cougars
November 13, 2008
One event this weekend combines our two favorite things; shopping and food. Check out the Shop ‘n Munch in Somerset, held at Asare’s Den restaurant beginning at 11am. Local businesses provide the goods, the food will cost you $10.
Continuing the food theme, it could be one of the biggest wine tastings ever! The George Street Playhouse is hosting its 5th annual backstage benefit tonight, and promises a sample of 200 wines from around the world. Here’s the link: http://www.georgestplayhouse.org/subscription/theater_subscriptions.php
Here’s a goodie just in time for a weekend on the town; get a FREE manicure and mini-makeup lesson at DeVenir Beauty in Millburn, tomorrow beginning at 2pm. You need to call for an appointment, you must RSVP to hold a place. Email NVpublicity@gmail.com to hold your place.
Catch the talented Maplewood Strollers in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. It plays this weekend and next at the Burgdorff Cultural Center.
The Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library is hosting an afternoon of music on Saturday, when the normally quiet place swings to the sound of The Chandler Travis Philharmonic. The library has put a link to a video of the Dixieland-like bank on its website: http://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=2161&EventID=27898.
Saturday night, there’s a rock concert in Clifton to benefit St. Peter’s Haven— a worthwhile local program to help the homeless. The music gets going at Johnny’s Bar & Grille at 110 Ackerman Ave ((973) 546-4081) . Bands include VSB, Sidebar, Maureen Hall, & Mojo Workin’, and Craig DeBari & the Usual Suspects.
The little ones will love the 10th annual collectible Toy and Train Show at the Pemberton Township High School all day on Saturday. Here’s a link that will help you get there: http://m.b5z.net/i/u/6106776/i/toy_and_train_show.pdf
Are there cougars in the Pine Barrens? You can join a Big Swamp Cougar Hunt on Saturday and see for yourself. Wear comfortable shoes for this all-day jaunt sponsored by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. Call Russell Juelg (609) 859-8860 x23 or email russell@pinelandsalliance.org for details.
