Single Use Plastics – In light of the plastics ban passed by the Camden County Board of Freeholders, Styrofoam cups aren’t allowed to be used in any County sponsored event, I came across Costco selling paper cups rated for hot beverages. Since the county doesn’t use Costco, there may be same items for sale at either Sam’s Club or BJ’s Warehouse.

Linden Ave will be closed for the Christmas Tree Lighting Event.
The parade will include the High school marching band, choir, and one of the local farms.
