Looking for something exciting to do with the whole family this October? On Sunday, Oct. 20, from noon — 4 p.m., Mayor Chuck Cahn and Township Council invite you to Harvest Festival featuring Fire and Life Safety Day.
This event is co-hosted by Cherry Hill Township and the Cherry Hill Fire Department.
Located at Croft Farm, 100 Bortons Mill Road the event is rain or shine. Harvest Festival attendees will be able to celebrate their community spirit by sampling a variety of “tricks” and “treats” from the Cherry Hill area.
Harvest Festival activities include pony rides, petting zoo, Cherry Hill My Gym moon bounce, live entertainment, rock wall, balloon artists, face painting and carnival games and a farmers market. There will also be plenty of Halloween-themed activities for all, including a costume parade, storytelling, crafts, fortunetellers, as well as a pumpkin patch and hayride brought to you by Springdale Farms.
New this year will be roaming singers, stilt walkers and a pumpkin bake off contest. For a complete list of guidelines for the bake off, please contact events@chtownship.com. Springdale Farms will provide refreshments.
Cahn welcomes visitors to learn more about services that Cherry Hill Township offers by visiting the information fair. Representatives will be on-hand from local and area non-profit organizations such as Cherry Hill Public Library, Kingsway Church, Side by Side Domestic Violence Response Team, Arden Theatre Company, Camden County Women’s Center, Senior Citizens United Community Services and Heifer International.
Remember to bring with you can food and other non-perishables to donate to the South Jersey Food Bank, which will be on site collecting.
The Cherry Hill Fire Department will be on hand with an antique fire vehicle display, take-a-photo with a fireman and a fire hose squirt, as well as readily available information for all.
The Cherry Hill Police Department will once again offer free registration in the Kid Card Identification program, a community service that immediately enters lost children into the National Amber Alert Plan.
This year’s event is sponsored by Kennedy Health System, with the support of Springdale Farm Market, My Gym of Cherry Hill, Concentra, Metro PCS, Melitta, International Sports Centre, CareOne and Bogdanoff Orthodontics.
This event is free and open to everyone. More information is available by calling Cherry Hill’s Recreation Department at 488–7868, or emailing Events@chtownship.com.
