Calling residents and visitors to central NJ! Looking for something to do this beautiful January weekend? According to the weather channel, it is going to be sunny and in the mid-high 40s, so why not do something outside?
Here's two local offerings, both being held this weekend:
- Celebrate Chinese New Year at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ with the Yang Yi Guzheng Academy. Master musician Yang Yi will lead his students in a heartbreaking concert featuring the sounds of the guzheng, a 21-string instrument dating back to ancient China. The concert is part of the "Winter Wonders" series of events being held at Grounds for Sculpture throughout February. The performance is being held on SUNDAY, JANUARY 29th at 2 p.m., and is free with paid admission to Grounds for Sculpture.
- Looking for something a little more energetic? How about ice harvesting? TODAY, JANUARY 28th, is the Howell Living History Farm's annual ICE HARVEST. Visitors to the farm can help Howell staff cut, chop, and shave ice, and can help make ice cream. The ice will be stored in an authentic ice house, and will last all year long. If it is cold enough, visitors may even be able to use an old fashioned ice saw to harvest ice from the frozen pond. The ice cream-making will be held at 1:00 and 3:00 pm; the ice harvesting is ongoing. Howell Farm, located in Lambertville, NJ, is also offering ice candle making for kids, between 11:00 am-3:00 pm., for a $3 materials fee. Admission to Howell and the ice harvest activities is FREE. They will also be offering food and beverages for sale. It is LOADS of fun (we went with our Cub Scout den one year) so head on over and harvest some ice!
