Pennsauken’s Historic Homes Hold Dual Events On November 18
Saturday, Nov. 18 continues Pennsauken’s historic homes’ tradition of the dual themes of the season. Life in the colonial home as winter approaches is the theme of at historic Griffith Morgan House’s “Frost on the Pumpkin” event from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Here, the warm fire of the hearth will prepare savory seasonal foods and home-baked goods and refreshments entice, while other domestic chores and pastimes bring the household and friends together in preparation for the frost and snow. Meanwhile, the “Holiday Open House” at Burrough-Dover House from noon to 4:00 p.m., opens the season of holiday warmth with historical cheer! Harking back to the 19th century when the Dover family occupied the old home, the trimmings of the holiday season with tree and greens and candles, warming refreshments, holiday music, and more bring friends and family merrily back to the traditions of the festive time of year!

By Mary Anne McFarland
The Scouts of Pennsauken will be collecting non-perishable food items as they walk in the 37th annual Pennsauken Holiday Parade, held along Westfield Ave. on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 11:00 a.m. Not only will they be collecting food products for distribution at local food pantries, the Scouts will be collecting food and other items for Almost Home Animal Shelter in Pennsauken. If you have old towels, unused kitty litter, toys, or other such items you no longer need, please bring them to the parade and give to one of the Scouts as they pass by. Your generosity will help the animals waiting for their forever homes at the Almost Home Shelter. The non-perishable food items and canned goods collected will be donated to the food pantry at both Martin Luther Chapel on Rt. 130 and Terrace Ave., where the Cub Scouts hold their den and pack meetings; and St. Peter Roman Catholic Church in Merchantville, the Pack’s charter organization.
