NJCTS Plans Fall Family Fun This Month

It's almost time for pumpkins, apple picking, and hay rides! NJCTS families are invited to join us at our Fall Fun Day at Von Thun's Farm in Monmouth Junction on Saturday, September 28. Meet or catch up with other families in the TS community, enjoy fall activities on the farm, and connect with NJCTS staff.

A $10 per person registration includes the games, hay ride, corn maze, and refreshments in our party zone. (Under 3 is free!)

NJCTS is planning exciting programming throughout the month.
