MAPLEWOOD, NJ – Hundreds came out to enjoy a beautiful fall day as the Springfield Avenue Partnership hosted its annual HarvestFest. Visitors enjoyed pony rides, pumpkin painting, face painting, a petting zoo, a bounce-house, crafts to do, crafts to buy, live entertainment and delicious food.
“We are just thrilled with the turnout, and the weather,” said Julie Doran, Director of the Springfield Avenue Partnership. “ Maplewood really came out to support these Springfield Avenue businesses.”
Live music was provided by: Maplewood Community Band; Nat Grauman and Lisa Rott & Friends; LaChaney’s Dance performance (a Springfield Avenue Merchant); Inspirational Dance performance (a Springfield Avenue Merchant); and Mood Ring.
