Crier Column 4/11: 'La Famiglia' at the Opera House; Tulana Mingin bats 100th career hit; Middle School presents 'Snow White'

Thursday, April 11, 2024

The cast of "LA FAMIGLIA" at the Blue Moon Theatre (Woodstown Opera House). Their show will be performed this weekend, Friday & Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Proceeds support the Woodstown Women's Club.

Hear ye, hear ye! O yez, o yez!

We survived the Earthquake. We survived the Eclipse. What next?! Well, for one, temperatures in these parts will climb to almost 80F on Monday. You can stay cool by heading over to the Opera House (Blue Moon Theatre) this weekend to see "La Famiglia" ... Italian families will especially appreciate! Or check out "Arsenic and Old Lace" the following weekend. If you have little kids, bring them to the high school to see "Snow White."

The Solar Eclipse over Pilesgrove on Monday, April 8, 2024. I took this on my iPhone looking through the tinted film on my eclipse glasses. The next partial solar eclipse we'll be able to view will be on August 12, 2045. The next total solar eclipse will be May 1, 2079. I'll be a young, strapping 91. See you there!

I played organ again at the First Baptist in Woodstown last Sunday and it was a wonderful time! Many thanks to the great team and staff over there. Such a welcoming environment. I look forward to playing again on their next communion Sunday, May 5 at 9:30 a.m.

BAGS: Do you have too many of those reusable bags? Those reusable bags usually last for about 125 uses, but let's be real: too often we use them once and throw them away, right? This creates a lot of problems for the environment. To dispose of your bags properly, bring them to the Salem County Convenience Center at 286 Welchville Rd, Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This service is FREE to Salem County residents.

WREATHS: The Squirrel's Nest Art Studio and Elegantly Loraine are hosting a workshop for making floral wreaths for Mother's Day. No experience necessary. Saturday, May 11 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. $45 per person with all supplies included. Pay in store or Venmo @Jennifer-Carll-Simon ... visit www.elegantlyloraine.com

Just a reminder ... Mother's day this year is Sunday, May 12 this year. Don't forget!
