Despite Paving Delays, Harvest Festival Is Set For Saturday, October 8th

If you’ve been watching the progress of the reconstruction of Clements Bridge Road, you’ve been relieved to see that most of the blacktop has been done in time for our annual street fair, the Harvest Festival. The contractor and the County Engineer’s office worked hard to make sure that most of the repaving was finished just in time for the event. That’s important, because the festivities will take over Clements Bridge Road from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, October 8th. It’s scheduled to stretch from the railroad tracks at Atlantic Avenue to the traffic light at Gloucester Pike.

If there are some remaining rough spots in the paving, some activities may be relocated close by. In the worst case, if the event must be moved, information will be posted on the Borough Website, as well as on signs and on the festival’s Facebook page. The committee has an extraordinary day planned, full of the traditions that have made the event such an incredible favorite for everyone. For more details, you can go to the web page at www. barringtonharvestfest.com. Rain Date: Sunday, October 9th.

Craft and Food Vendors

There will be blocks and blocks of arts and crafts, gifts, food, novelties, a wandering juggler and socializing galore. As in the past, there will be more than 200 different vendors, so there is sure to be something of interest to everyone including Halloween items, jewelry, Autumn merchandise, local organizations and businesses, and a wide variety of snacks and desserts —with two separate food court areas to sit down, relax and enjoy a beautiful fall day. FREE PARKING

Parking will be provided off-site at Edmund Optical
