February 7:  Skulls and Bones – No bones about it, vertebrates have interesting skeletons! Compare yours to other species in this class. Examine real mammal, reptile, and bird skulls, looking for clues as to who they belong to. We’ll also take a close look at the kinds of teeth that mammals have as we munch on apple slices and carrots to test out how they work.

March 6:  Be Bear Aware – Black bears are NJ’s largest land animal, found in every county. But there are so many misconceptions about them! Discover the secrets to their success in our state, practice what to do if you see one, play a game to simulate how they live, and take a walk on the trails looking for signs of bears.

Excerpt from https://www.jerseysbest.com/

Thanks to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, a throwback attraction that got its start in the Garden State is enjoying a resurgence in popularity: the drive-in movie theater.

In addition to the state’s lone permanent venue, the Delsea Drive-In in Vineland, a couple pop-up sites are poised to deliver some vintage-style entertainment as families look for safe entertainment options. Following is a breakdown of the drive-in movie theater locations in New Jersey as well as movie times and dates:

/Excerpt – I am hoping that

Boxcar will include nights for local bands and rent parking out to food trucks. The food trucks can make their menus available on phone apps for no contact ordering. The food brought to cars old car hop style. Bring in port a pottys that are changed out nightly and install hand sanitizer stands. Virtually little infrastructure needed.
