Beware Of The Grinch Roaming Around Millburn This Weekend

MILLBURN, NJ — Don't be surprised if you see a green, furry figure roaming the streets of Millburn on Saturday.

On Dec. 11 the Grinch will be spreading his own brand of Christmas "cheer" starting at 11:30 a.m. downtown. For photos with the Grinch and a free treat, people can visit Taste Buddy — at 515A Millburn Ave — from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m.

Also on Saturday, Jubliation Brass will be playing classic Christmas tunes throughout the downtown from 12 p.m to 2:45 p.m.

But the holiday spirit does not end there. Next Saturday, Dec. 18, Santa Claus will be making an appearance in Millburn. He will be making two local stops — first at Bagel Pantry on Upper Millburn Ave and then at The Book House on Essex Street.

The Snowflake Hunt is also still ongoing. Participants in the hunt have a chance to win $50 and $100 gift cards by stopping in any of the participating stores, grabbing a submission form and finding the hidden snowflakes inside. The contest begins on Saturday.

The following stores are participating in the hunt:

Avalon Salon, Bagel Pantry, Coder School, Footnotes, Highline Fashion, J. Nunez Gallery, Jia Boutique, Kika Stretch Studio, Millburn Camera ASAP Photo, Millburn Deli, Millburn Pet Shop, Paper, Ribbon & Wrap, ReelStyle Exchange, Rock N’ Joe, Schultz & Blaustein, Short Hills Club Pilates, Short Hills Pharmacy, Spotless Dry Cleaners, Swimquest, Taste Buddy, The Book House

Volunteers from the Art Advisory Council, One River School and the community at large are currently decorating 12 winter scenes on local shop windows. People can view the art this weekend, as well.

These are all events hosted by Explore Millburn. To learn more about them, go to their website.
