Our Community Make a Wish tree is up for the season. Stop by and make a wish
This year’s “2020 Vision Make a Wish Tree” in the front yard of Gerald York Opticians on Finley Avenue will be decorated with used eyeglasses, Snellen eye charts, and visitors’ Visions for the new year. The tree will be set up the same time the Basking Ridge Fire Department is decorating the town tree (Sat, Nov. 28 from 9:30-11:30). Drive by to support the Fire Company and help “Fill the Boot” and get a local business coupon book and free gift while supplies last.
For the entire holiday season, residents can stop by, donate a pair of used glasses to the tree, and write a 2021 vision/wish to hang on the tree for all to read.

SHARE WITH A MOTORHEAD! Lot of friends know I love motorsports. A new MLH project is to document all New Jersey motorsports tracks, metrodomes, stadiums, road courses, ovals, dragstrips, tri-ovals present and past. Help us make it complete. Photos and history too! Also looking to bring back auto racing to Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson (FOR REAL). https://www.mrlocalhistory.org/hinchliffe-new-jersey-auto-racing/
Bring Auto Racing Back to Paterson New Jersey - Mr. Local History Project
There are tons of venues that can support baseball, football, track and multi-use fields. But auto racing back at Hinchliffe? This would bring a unique urban appeal back to a grass roots track that was once a New Jersey icon.
