The weather outside isn't frightful yet but it sure is cold, which means that winter is well on its way! After spending some time inside enjoying football, feasts and festivities over the Thanksgiving holiday, get out on Sunday, November 30, and experience the 55th Annual Winter Festival Parade, sponsored by the Metuchen Chamber of Commerce. Starting at Brunswick Avenue and Main Street, it ends with a visit to the Senior Center for cocoa and a one-on-one with the parade's Grand Marshall, the world-renowned fashion plate and all-around holiday spokesperson, Santa Claus! The theme of this year's fun-filled parade is "A Hometown Holiday". The parade kicks off at 2:00 pm, weather permitting
