The concert venue formerly known as Haddon Heights Dell, and renamed to honor two patrolmen who lost their lives in the line of duty in April 1995, Patrolman John Norcross and Investigator John McLaughlin, will be renovated.
Two more concerts will be held in the old venue Sundown Music series, August 15 at 7:30 p.m. featuring The National Reserve, and on Aug. 21 and 23, the Haddon Heights Village Playbox will perform love songs. So if you want to see the old Dell in it's former glory before it is refurbished, come on out for the music.
The renovations, set to begin in autumn, are expected to be completed in time for the 2019 Sundown series season.
Across from the Dell is the hill and slope where my daughter and her friends used to sled on snowy days off from school years ago. I can think back to those days and hear the kids shouting and almost feel the cool snow on this blazing hot August 8th Wednesday.
While I am on the subject of this blazing hot day, I would like to mention as successful visit of my new dog to the Big Timber Creek Dog Park today. It is located in Blackwood off Chews Landing Road. There were two or three friendly young couples with friendly dogs who were happy to sniff and be sniffed by my dog. I was so worried about this first time visit to the park, but our dog trainer, Janice Barlow, made the event safe, calm and wonderful. I plan to go every day so my dog can enjoy the shade, the dogs, and the freedom from the leash. It has a leash free park, and bridle paths from the old horseback retiring days of Slim's Ranch which I have mentioned in previous blogs.
We began at the Woodbury Dog Park but it is shadeless and it was a scorching desert, so we headed over to the shady glade of Big Timber instead.
Happy Trails and Happy Tails!

ps. Haddon Heights Park is also a great place to walk and to walk your dog!
