Annual collection drive now in 10th year.

With the assistance of Morris County residents, Morris County Park Commission, the Republican National Headquarters, Morristown-Beard School, and Exxon’s Retired Executives program, the …

Holiday tradition, collaboration now in its 22nd year.
This is he 22nd year Morristown’s Assumption School fourth-grade students have handcrafted period-style ornaments for the Macculloch Hall Historical Museum Drawing Room Christmas tree under the direction of their art teacher, Barbara Silverstein. A sizeable collection of cornucopias, cotton Santas, tussie mussies, fans and scrap tinsel ornaments are carefully stored in the attic from year to year, donated over two decades by the children who made them. This year students worked with quality reproduction die-cut images or “scraps” mounted onto gold foil-covered cardboard bells and silver paper circles, fringed for textural dimension. Popular during the mid 1800’s through the first quarter of the 20th century, brightly colored die-cuts were …

Many came out to the Green early Sunday evening for his annual descent from the roof of Century 21.

Yes, I'm the Grinch. Puh-lease! If we are all in the legend of ol' St. Nick, which is one of the many beauties of being young; why not perpetuate the illusion? If only to remind you of your own youth? No, its easier to declare yourself "for the people" and call it flawless. Details may be overlooked, but hanging a camera over the edge of building where 1000's of onlookers are, is far from an … more ›
AAA New Jersey predicts about 1 million residents of the Garden State will travel 50 miles or more this holiday weekend.
About one million New Jersey residents and 43.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this Thanksgiving weekend, AAA New Jersey predicts. The impact of Hurricane Sandy is still uncertain, especially in the mid-Atlantic and northeast regions. Cathleen Lewis, the director of Public Affairs for AAA New Jersey, said, "While many residents [of New Jersey] may cancel travel plans, many others may change travel plans to accommodate or assist displaced friends and family." How will we get there? Sandy may influence how New Jerseyans will travel this holiday. As Lewis said, "Rental cars have become a coveted commodity by those who lost vehicles in the storm.” AAA recommends confirming any existing reservations for a rental car with the …
