Victorian Days Meet & Greet, Belvidere, NJ



Come on out for a Victorian style Meet & Greet on Saturday, September 6th from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Belvidere, NJ for the 21st annual Victorian Days!

We'll set up in front of Nancy Barnett's house at 623 Oxford Street, same as last year.

We have gorgeous authentic replicas of Victorian hats for male and female greys to wear, and our beautiful dogs get lots of attention sporting their Victorian hats as we stroll around the green where all auto traffic is blocked off for pedestrians and horse drawn carriages. (Please, no dogs on the actual green by the vendors.)

We take turns helping each other out so everyone gets an opportunity to check out the VENDORS, FOOD, LIVE ENTERTAINMENT, ANTIQUE/VINTAGE CAR SHOW and much more.

This is a very fun event, with lots going on (see the website for complete list of events) and we had a greyt time last year! We have an EZ-Up tent and porch for shade in the front yard, and a shaded, securely fenced back yard and cool house to help your dog(s) enjoy the day too! Come as early as you can and stay for as long as you can.

On-street parking is at a premium as the day goes on, but there's free parking in the ball field just around the corner from the house, and we're VERY EASY to find!

Call or email Nancy Barnett for more information or easy directions - (908) 310-9130, or e-mail nancy_barnett@merck.com
