Moorestown's 4th Annual
Halloween Parade
For you Moorestown residents who have kids that still love to dress up and parade around in their costumes for Halloween, they’ll get their chance to do so this weekend. On Saturday, the 25th, the Moorestown Business Association will be hosting its 4th annual Halloween Parade.
Everyone that wants to join in the fun needs to come to the PNC parking lot by 3:45pm dressed in their costumes! Parents who want to dress up, may certainly do so as well;-) The marchers will head down Main Street towards Chester Ave. Once they get to Chester Avenue, by Moorestown Friends School, the “paraders” will move to the sidewalk and continue on to Stokes Hill.
There will be a bonfire along with music, prizes and food to enjoy at Stokes Hill. If you want to participate in Pumpkin Carving, then please bring your pumpkin a little earlier. Unfortunately, the flyer doesn’t mention whether to bring the pumpkin to Stokes Hill or to the parking lot?
From personal experience, this Halloween Parade has become bigger and better with every year and it looks like the Moorestown Business Association has outdone themselves again.
If need be, the rain date has been set for Sunday, October 26.
This event is just one of the many that make Moorestown such a wonderful place! Hope to see you out there, I’ll be the guy with a Power Ranger and a Fairy…..I’m not sure what the kids will be wearing though.
Here’s the information again:

If you live in the Moorestown area and are looking for something to do with your family that’s very budget friendly; you should explore Amico Island in Delran.
When my wife and I were trying to think of a way to take advantage of some beautiful weather last weekend, she came across Amico Island on the web. Do you know why it’s called and Island, when the brochure lists it as a peninsula? Answer that question and you'll get extra credit! (Don’t ask me, I don’t know the answer to that mystery.)
According to their web site, it’s a “55 acre peninsula featuring a diverse collection of habitats and terrain. With upland forests, freshwater ponds and wetlands, river shoreline and meadows, visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, fishing and picnicking in a rustic natural setting at the confluence of the Rancocas Creek and Delaware River.”
My wife noticed that biking was allowed and spotted an opportunity for an “adventure picnic” with the kids. We loaded up their bikes, packed lunch and were there within 10 minutes from our Moorestown home. I have been living in the Moorestown area for 10 years and had no idea about this hidden treasure. The kids loved the idea that they could ride their bikes and “explore” the wonders of the island. My wife and I loved the idea of having the entire family enjoy something together with no adverse effect on our budget:-) It’s true that the best things in life are free!
There are 3 trails that total about 2 miles in length altogether and there’s no real serious hiking involved. There are some seriously beautiful views and wonderful sounds though! The only downside was when an ice cream truck visited the park across the river. That sound came through loud and clear and I had to be quick to stop the kids from trying to swim across the Delaware. They love their ice cream!
So, if you live in or around Moorestown and are looking for something to do that’s family friendly and budget friendly, I encourage you to visit Amico Island.
If you see a great Blue Heron just know that he’s a very patient bird, so getting a picture of him “in flight” might require a lot more patience than I or my children could muster. I'll be back Mr. Heron.....I'll be back!
