Warren County Wanderings

Starting March 27, 2019

“The Dude abides. I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that, knowin’ he’s out there. The Dude. Takin’ ‘er easy for all us sinners.”  - The Stranger

Since we've established a tradition of opening with a quote, this week's inspiration comes from the cult classic, The Big Lebowski, screening at Roy's Hall this weekend. This in no way implies we are accusing our beloved Warren County Wanderers of being sinners!

Moving on, we are happy to report that warmer weather is in the forecast, so in addition to all of the activities listed below, we hope you will be able to enjoy a little fresh air in the coming days, as we prepare for the arrival of April and the Easter season (and flowers)! So don't be a fool, and Happy Wanderings!

Coming Up

Every artifact tells a story. Learn about the house, its family, Allamuchy, New Jersey and beyond with Speaker Joan Salvas, Rutherfurd Hall Historian. This is a free event thanks to the support of the Allamuchy Historical Society. Refreshments will be served.

Celebrate the arrival of warmer weather at the historic Luigi's Rancho with live music by Dennis Melillo, guitar and vocals, and Tom Drake, guitar, playing (and singing) the great American Songbook featuring the songs of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Rodgers/Hart, Rodgers/Hammerstein, Ant

5th Annual Night at the Races Beefsteak fundraiser with an all-you-can-eat beefsteak and fries, and a make your own sundaes bar!  Tickets are only $50 and include beer

Relax to some free music with family, friends, and delicious wines! Indulge in some Tortellini Alfredo for only $5.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow, would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. 

HollowPoint is New Jersey's premier hard rock, alternative and metal cover band.  Have some food, drinks, and a lot of fun!

Anointed “the new Dylan” upon his recording debut, folk-rock singer/songwriter Steve Forbert was born in Meridian, Mississippi in 1954.

Spring Cleaning Time! If you're looking to buy or sell hard-to-find parts, this will be your place! Clean out your garage, shed, sell the parts you've been staring at! Pick up parts for your project!

The Northwest New Jersey Rivers Conference invites anyone and everyone who cares about this region, clean water and the River to learn how we can best work to protect its resources:  to conserve, restore, protect, educate, inform and bring communities together to defend and share what we love best.

Have breakfast, spend time with real, live bunnies, enjoy photo ops and more! The event benefits the Warren County 4-H college scholarships! 

Come enjoy free live music with family, friends, and delicious wines! 

Come see a Southern Rock 'n' Roll band based out of Warren County. 

“The Big Lebowski” is about an attitude, not a story. It’s easy to miss that, because the story is so urgently pursued.

This band is top notch and is the closest thing you will get to see the Piano Man himself! 

Spaz, Biff, Stretch, and Mongo have graced stages from the Jersey Shore to Las Vegas, earning their reputation as “America’s Party Band Fun-omenon” every step of the way. Party the night away at Bea McNally's!

A popular local duo, Stan & Elise return to Brook Hollow to perform a mix of classic '60s tunes, contemporary favorites and jazz standards. 
 

It's a hands-on program, where YOU are the autograph detective! Join international autograph and manuscript expert, Brian Kathenes, for an exciting night of intrigue and hands-on investigation.

Stop by and get some history! This month's presention, free and open for all to attend, is a film on the mind-boggling construction of the Panama Canal.

Continuing

Wine tasting classes can be fun and frustrating. You are presented different wines and told that you should smell “the roses,” leather, lavender or other aromas that you simply cannot detect. That’s because your taste buds are not trained.
