A selection of events taking place in the Garden State this weekend.
Witmer Stone Weekend
Friday – Sunday, September 30-October 2, 2011: Witmer Stone Weekend at Medford Leas and Camp Dark Waters, Medford NJ. Witmer Stone (1866-1939) was a giant among naturalists. His many accomplishments flowed from his profound interest in nature. He wrote three publications that are still valued by naturalists today, Bird Studies at Old Cape May, the Mammals of New Jersey, and, in 1911, The Plants of Southern New Jersey. Help celebrate his work; details and extensive three-day itinerary, visit the website, call 609-654-6485 or emailjsjacksongould@comcast.net. Sponsored by Plexus Publishing.
23rd Annual Chowder Cook-Off Classic – Sunday, October 2, 2011
This family fun festival features live music, activities and unlimited Chowder tasting with the opportunity for each ticket holder to vote for their favorite red and white chowder. The event is nestled in Beach Haven surrounded by beautiful views of the bay and plenty of year end discounted shopping. It has become a tradition for family and friends to gather together to say good bye to summer and welcome in the fall.
