All I have to say is this park is just beautiful in November and although a few of the animals were not on display there was still plenty to do and see. The zoo was free and the train and carousel were running but won’t be for long (my husband just chimed to say he heard this coming weekend might be the last) so head over soon. Van Saun Park (216 Forest Ave., Paramus and Continental Ave., River Edge): Huh?…I {Read More}

My son is too young for cub scouts and I don’t (yet…I have to admit I’m a serial joiner) belong to a Junior Woman’s club but I have met quite a few women from the library in town.
