The Medford Township Municipal Alliance is pleased to announce that the popular Teen DickensFest special event for area teens is again being offered as a part of Medford’s annual Dickens Festival on Saturday, Dec. 8.
Last year’s event, held at two locations due to the overwhelming participation, attracted over 500 teens to the event. New plans for 2012’s festival call for activities for middle schoolers to be held at Memorial Middle School, with a “Coffee House” for high school age students at Cranberry Hall just off Main Street.
The festivities will be held from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.
The middle school event will include music and dancing, competitions on several inflatables, and prize drawings every 30 minutes throughout the evening, including door prizes such as an iPad Mini, MP3 players, and boom-boxes that have been donated by many local businesses. Teens must be present to win.
A “coffeehouse” for high schoolers in Cranberry Hall, will be offering food and beverages. For music, teens are encouraged to perform on the open mic and karaoke set-ups. Door prizes will also be drawn.
Fellowship Alliance Chapel is the co-sponsor of this activity, and will be providing their impressive sound and video systems to make for an exciting event. Fellowship Alliance Chapel will also be providing the coffee and snacks, pizzas and sodas throughout the evening for a nominal fee.
Both events are free admission, as this activity is offered as a component of Medford’s Municipal Alliance Program. Funding has been provided in part from a grant from the Burlington County Office of Human Services under the Drug Enforcement Demand Reduction grant program and the Governor’s Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse.
