>It’s that time again!
Graydon opens for the season THIS Saturday and Sunday, June 5-6, 10 AM to 7:30 PM.
Ridgewood residents, bring proof of address for free admission all weekend.
Badges will be sold at Graydon starting Saturday, or online at any time: graydon.ridgewoodnj.net.
The John Oakes Band will play party rock-’n’-roll from the ’50s and beyond. Saturday, 12 to 4 PM (rain date: Sunday).
Early badge sales have been strong. Help keep the momentum going:
Spread the word. The beach in our back yard is the place to be this summer. Enjoy a swim and the new amenities. Did you know that residents of Midland Park and Ho-Ho-Kus can join without needing a sponsor? In addition, residents of other towns can join if sponsored (vouched for) by a Ridgewood badge holder. Download the sponsorship application here. Note: sponsorship applications can take up to a week to process. Sponsored badges can’t be purchased on the spot.
Tell new residents. On Tuesday we mailed about 600 letters to people who had moved to Ridgewood and Midland Park in the past year or so. If you have any new friends or acquaintances in those towns, download the appropriate letter (letter to new Ridgewood resident) (letter to new Midland Park resident) and send it along. Remind Ho-Ho-Kus residents that thanks to an arrangement between the towns, renewed annually, they can join, too.
Purchasing a badge shows your support to keep Graydon natural. On May 22, some people buying badges at Graydon said they were doing so to support the preservation of Graydon. We believe they’ll find reasons to stop by and be glad they did, whether they swim or not. They can relax…borrow a book from the free Graydon Summer Lending Library…play ping-pong, basketball, volleyball, cards.
Invite your friends. Guest pass: $10. If you have any guest coupons from last year, use them. They will expire on Labor Day.
Sad note at a festive time. We are sorry to report that Councilwoman Anne Zusy died Thursday morning after an illness. Annie enjoyed Graydon often with her family. We will miss her energy and enthusiasm.
See you this weekend.
