The Garden State Discovery Museum is a hands-on museum for young children. It offers fifteen larger-than-life, kid powered interactive exhibit areas. You’ll be able to get inside of a gigantic bubble, scale a rock climbing wall, bandage a wounded teddy bear, whip up a pretend exotic meal at the Discovery Diner or build a two-story house! Space is limited. First come, first served! Pack a brown bag lunch to eat there for you and your children.

An Evening with the Butch Ballard Trio

Butch BallardThe Historical Society of Frankford presented an evening with the Butch Ballard Trio last night.  This was a fund raiser for the benefit of the Bhilding Renovation Project.

It’s not every day we get to spend that much time with a legend but well over 100 people were there last night to enjoy the wine and cheese, the music and an opportunity to get together for a great cause.

Butch BallardThe Butch Ballard Trio last night was Butch on the drums, Sam Dockery on the piano and Dylan Taylor on the bass.  Now if we could make this a monthly event we would be on to something.  Butch Ballard Trio
