JAMESBURG — Jamesburg will be holding its annual Fall Festival on Sunday, Oct. 7, along West Railroad Avenue from 12 to 5 p.m.
The rain date is Sunday, Oct. 14, at the same time and location.
Councilwoman Barbara Carpenter said there will be several Jumpy Rides for children, train rides and pony rides, classic cars and motorcycles sponsored by the Jamesburg Elks, animal adoptions, live music, a DJ and food as well as a variety of vendors.
New to the event this year will be a petting zoo as well as the Boy Scout box cart races. The pony rides and petting zoo will be in the grassy area across from the firehouse along West Railroad Avenue, and the box cart races, which will be judged, will be along Church Street in between Gatzmer and West Railroad avenues.
There also will be a pumpkin judging contest. Look for the pumpkin table on West Railroad Avenue near the PNC Bank. Children are asked to bring their own decorated pumpkins to be judged. Prizes will be awarded for the funniest, scariest, cutest and most original.
