Where to go to be in the know...about travel
The Garden State Parkway, south from Cape May, N.J. to Hohokus and north through the center of the state is a scenic way to travel through New Jersey. This time of year, shore traffic on the Parkway heading towards the south, is now diminished, and bumper-to-bumper traffic won’t be back until spring 2012. It’s a great time to get on the road and see parts of New Jersey that you haven’t seen. Fall is definitely the time to take to the beach.

They moaned, they groaned, they dragged their bodies along the ground. Some of the living dead even posed for pictures. This year’s Zombie Walk on Asbury Park’s boardwalk drew record-breaking crowds, clogging up the exit off the Garden State Parkway and all other arteries leading to the beach.

Zombies, the Undead, what I call ‘cool ghouls’, strut their stuff this weekend. The event will be held on October 21, 22 and 23rd, starting at the Convention Center on the boardwalk of Asbury Park, New Jersey. Starting at exactly 5 PM on Saturday evening, the Zombies will come out of the Convention Center on Asbury Park’s boardwalk. Cookman Avenue will be blocked off where a stage will be erected to host a variety of musical acts.
It’s all about the children’s enjoyment and entertainment at Casola Farms in Holmdel, N.J.
Schools were closed in New York and New Jersey today to commemorate Columbus Day, and Casola’s put on their best effort to serve the masses that came into Holmdel for pumpkin picking, the haunted hayrides (day and night hayrides are available), petting zoo, pony ride, face painting, and lots more of treats inside the store. Casola Farms are open seven days a week during the fall festival.
October 8th was the traditional Saturday of Harvest Festival in Ocean Grove which has been celebrated for approximately a decade now. It’s always celebrated the first Saturday in the month of October. The Harvest Festival in Ocean Grove is a free celebration that anyone can participate in. The Chamber of Commerce of Ocean Grove sets up the event every year, and the Neptune police department close the main streets from 10 AM to 4 PM on Main Avenue where vendors set up their wares, a place where people dance and gather in fellowship with one common goal: Celebrating the harvesting of food grown on the land.
