MILLSTONE – Old friends and new friends are invited to gather for a day of entertainment, activities, food and fun as they celebrate Millstone Township.
Millstone Day, an annual celebration of the community, will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 16 at Frogbridge Day Camp, 7 Yellow Meeting House Road. Admission is free.
“In some ways, Millstone Day becomes the town square for our community,” Mayor Gary Dorfman said. “There are activities, events, interesting vendors and so forth. I encourage folks to come on out and see some of the organizations in town that are represented there. This year, we have a beer garden. Come out and see all our community has to offer.
“It’s a fun time for all,” Dorfman said. “It’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbors. I think one of the most valuable things about it is there are so many organizations in our town that people can become part of and contribute to that are aligned with whatever your individual interests are. It’s an opportunity to come out and be aware of all those things, to find people of like interests and become involved.”
Free activities at Millstone Day will include arts and crafts, mini-golf, paddle boats, kayaking and swimming. There will also be basketball, volleyball, tennis and a home run derby.
There will be a bounce house, an obstacle course and a bungee trampoline. Use of the inflatable area/bungee trampoline is $5. An all-day combo for all three activities may be purchased for $8.
The Horseman’s Association of Millstone Township will present a rodeo show at 2 p.m. There will be a meet and greet with the riders and their horses after the show.
There will be a free pumpkin patch where guests may select a pumpkin. Pumpkins may be decorated at the Recreation Department tent. There will be music, food, vendors and groups offering displays and information. Millstone Elks Lodge No. 2613 will sponsor the beer garden.
