Sunday Netherwood House Tour is one of featured activities. |
A really big weekend for Plainfield runs from today through Sunday: a festival, concert, family day, bus trip, house tour -- and the Cardinals opening game. Is that enough?
HISPANIC HERITAGE FESTIVAL
Voluntad Productions hosts its third annual Latin Heritage Festival from Friday through Sunday in the public lot between Watchung and Roosevelt Avenues. The carnival rides began arriving on Tuesday and many were set up and lit on Thursday evening. Organizer Rodney Maree of Chez Maree told me recently that he had gotten more rides and vendors and of course a full schedule of musical groups. The volume was toned down a bit last year and things will shut down at 10 PM each night. Nothing more has been said about an opening parade since the May Council meeting (see post here), so it may not be happening. The competing festival by Edison Garcia of Los Faraones is NOT happening this year.FRIENDS OF LIBRARY BUS TRIP
The Friends of the Plainfield Public Library have a bus trip to Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton on Saturday. This is the world-famous exhibit of outdoor public sculpture. As of Thursday, I understand there are still a few seats available. The cost is $20/person and tickets may be purchased at the Library's Circulation Desk until 5 PM today. The bus departs the 9th Street Library parking lot on Saturday at 10:30 AM sharp. Lunch is on your own at any of the three restaurants on the grounds.WARD 2 FAMILY FUN DAY
