I hope that your summer is progressing nicely. The next meeting of the Sussex County History Alliance meeting will be 7PM Tuesday, August 29, 2017 at the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council office. It is located at 133 Spring Street in Newton. There is a parking lot in the back if there is no street parking available. Our presenter will be Wayne McCabe, Sussex County Historian and President of the Sussex County Historical Society. His topic will be understanding how our municipalities, particularly the larger rural townships, developed during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. I hope to see you all there. Live streaming will not be available for this meeting. Click here to download the entire 2017 Daily Schedule. There’s no shortage of things to see and do at the 2017 New Jersey State Fair®/Sussex County Farm & Horse Show! The lists below will display what events are happening on that day. A “$” symbol denotes additional cost. Had a great time today at the Crescent Theatre on its official 100th anniversary. Mayor Little was on hand and Sarah Frey, Constituent Advocate for Congressman Gottheimer stopped by to drop off a Certificate of Recognition. Freeholder George Graham stopped by too. I was able to raise $130 for the Sussex-Wantage Historical Society selling commemorative envelopes. I have more for sale if anyone is interested. Let me know. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and took a tour and bought envelopes. Mario On its 100th anniversary day the Crescent Theatre will be memorialized with an official US Postal commerorative hand cancel. You can have your letters hand cancelled with an official 100th anniversary cancelation at the Sussex Post Office on July 24th. Just tell them that you want you envelope cancels using the commemorative cancel when you go there. I will also have specially designed commemorative envelopes with a 100th anniversary cancellation available for purchase for $5.00 as a keepsake at the theatre on July 24 beginning around 10AM and all proceeds will go to the Sussex-Wantage Historical Society. The theatre will be open on July 24th from 10AM - 3PM if you would like to stop by and chat, purchase a commemorative envelope, take a tour or just say hello.
