Dear ETHPS Members & Friends-
Dog Days of summer are here!  Our grass is brown, like the rest of the area, but our resident deer don't seem to mind, and our apples are ripening nicely!  Please feel free to stop by anytime and enjoy our pleasant park!
You may have heard that Coca-Cola is sponsoring some community building funding and one that you may all participate in is "Vote For Your Favorite Park" - Visit www.livepositively.com and you can click on NJ state parks and vote for your favorite (as of today, Tuesday, the top 2 NJ state parks voted on are Washington Crossing State Park and Island Beach State Park!)  Coke is then giving money to the state park with the most votes (I am not clear if it is top vote getter for each state, or just one over-al winner??)  Go on and Vote for NJ!!

  • Sept 12 - 4:30pm - Concert at Drake Farm Park (Benjamin Temple House) - music of the Riverside Bluegrass Band - 27 Federal City Rd, Ewing
