Fall Festival to Kick Off Football Season Opener Against Livingston

The Education Foundation of Millburn-Short Hills will kick off the 2013 football season Saturday with its Fall Festival. 

This event will take place at Millburn High School’s front lawn from 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. prior to the Millburn vs. Livingston high school football game at 2:30 p.m.  

Families of all ages will enjoy games, rides, music, food, football and fun and have the opportunity to learn about the Education Foundation’s programs that support all of our schools with programming, technology and much more.

“The idea behind the Fall Festival is to welcome children of all ages and their parents into the Ed Foundation fold,” says the non-profit’s president, Amy Talbert.  “While we’ve been successful with our events geared toward specific age groups, the Fall Festival provides us with an opportunity to gather as a community to support our schools and enjoy the day’s festivities.  We hope this event inspires more residents to become members and get involved with our ongoing programs in the elementary, middle and high schools.”

Event attendees will enjoy music and entertainment by Millburn high school students including: 90 Slope, JaJo, Anya Parker-Lentz, and the MHS Dance Company.  Further fun will be had at the many carnival games and rides for all ages including such hits as: bungee run, petting zoo, mechanical bull, rock wall climbing, human foosball, etc.  Multiple food and refreshment vendors will satisfy all tastes.

Tickets are available for purchase now at edfoundationmillburnshorthills.org and at the event at the price of $20 for members (annual membership is $50) and $25 for non-members.  The Fall Festival committee thanks its generous sponsors including: Presenting sponsor, Sun Home Loans; Ruby Level – Simon Westfall Kwong/Re/Max, Shannon Aronson/Keller Williams, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Investors Bank; Topaz Level – Bergman Law LLC, Air Group, Plastic Surgery of Short Hills, Meadowbrook Day Camp; Amber Level – The Bouri Family, The Farscht Family, The Justice Family, Joanna Parker-Lentz & Jodi Rubenstein, Amanda Damesek/Keller Williams, The Rieder Family.
