Autumn is in full colorful array. This year we are fortunate to be getting some of the best colors I have seen in years. Take a drive along the Maurice River or along the Delaware Bayshore or Parvin State Park; the vibrant colors range from pale yellow to deep russet and red.
There are still plenty of fall events to take in as you plan out a driving route. It’s still apple-picking season and there’s time to buy your pumpkins and gourds. Sunny Slope Farms (located in Hopewell Township) has a variety of apples, apple cider, and more for you and the family to enjoy. Check out their website sunnyslope.com/. They also have Frightened Turtle wine for sale.
The Port Norris Fire Company’s Oyster and Ham Dinner is back in person this year on Sunday, October 30, from 12 to 6 p.m. at the Fire Hall. Adults cost $30 and children are $15. Dinner is served “family style.” Call and make your reservations at 856-785-1313. I have my reservations and can attest to the fact that everything is delicious.

The Levoy Theatre will be showing the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” with the Transylvania Nipple Production’s Shadow Cast on Saturday, October 29, at 9 p.m. In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O’Brien). Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation—a muscular man named Rocky. This movie has a mature theme.
