Fall Fest to Have a bit of Everything

Riverguy likes the Fall...the crisp air, football, and Fall festivals. In fact, there are almost too many fall fests to choose from.

One of the best around is the upcoming "Arts, Crafts, Music and Harvest Fest" in Downtown Toms River on Saturday, October 19th, from 11:30am to 5pm. Everything will be set up on Washington Street. In addition to all of the things you normally see at a Fall fest, local artists, crafters, and musicians will add to the mix.

You'll be able to enjoy a "street party" atmosphere as the "XL Jazz Band" & "Sounds of the Street" perform on-stage. If you are thirsty, the is a Beer Garden to tame it. Street Performers and stilt-walkers will add to the fun. And, if you think you'll miss the big college football game going on that day, think again... several large TV sets will be stationed at the fest so that you can keep up with the gridiron action.

Kids' activities will include Inflatables & Rides, Pumpkin decorating, a Haystack maze, Sand Art ... and more. There will be Fun Contests: Create-A-Scarecrow contest... Homemade Fall Dessert Cookoff contest, and a Apple Cider Donut Eating Contest.
