Warren County Wanderings

Starting April 13, 2022

"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat"-Laura Ingalls Wilder, writer

This weather is sure to bring everyone out of their hibernating and into the sun! Even these Azaleas blooming outside the Warren County Administration building know it's time to bring forth their beauty for all to see!

The week is going by fast and there continues to be so much to see and do! Ridge and Valley will be hosting their Full Moon hike at Dark Moon Preserve this Saturday night. Centenary Stage Company is back with the Women's Playwright Series starting tonight and the Musconetcong Watershed Association is hosting their annual River Clean Up followed by a BBQ and a chance to win some free swag!

There are plenty of Easter happenings here and in More Things to Do.

Happy Weekend and Happy Wanderings!

Coming Up

WPS offers playwrights the opportunity to work with professional actors and directors in a workshop rehearsal process, and to hear their work in front of a live audience. This week's presentation of Off The Map from Christine Foster comes a story of a retired couple moving to Central America and finding their lives and relationship isn't what they were expecting after discovering a mysterious mound on their property.

It's time to bake and craft for Easter! Two classes to choose from or do both! Decorate Easter theme cookies using icing, editable paint, fondant, and sprinkles or create an adorable bunch of Easter bunnies on a 10″ x 10″ wood pallet with acrylic paint.

Let your creative juices flow while your gnome comes to life. Kids of all ages and abilities are welcome. Class is $25 and includes canvas, paints and brushes.

Join Rutherfurd Hall for an instructor led class to create this great gnome on canvas with acrylic paint. Cost is $30 and includes all supplies. All ages and abilities are welcome. Feel free to BYOB and snacks.

Enjoy a pairing of Easter chocolates with several Villa Milagro wines. You will be entered into a drawing to win a box of chocolates. As Forrest Gump said, "You never know what you are going to get."
