We enter the typical lull between Halloween and Thanksgiving, but there’s still plenty to do this week. The weather is still beautiful at Belleplain, so check out one of their outdoor events. Don’t miss the Lower Township veteran’s parade, which features displays from the military- it’s one of the biggest of its kind in the state. Thanks to Chet Rietheimer for the great header shot of a Blue Heron at Cape May Point State Park.
