ANNUAL GROUNDHOG DAY CELEBRATION RETURNS ON FEBRUARY 2nd
MULLICA HILL—The Harrison Township Historical Society’s Annual Groundhog Day Dinner and Silent Auction is set for Saturday, February 2, 2019, 6 pm, in Ewan Fire Hall, 312 Ewan Road, Ewan, NJ. This annual event features “Down Jersey” sausage links, sausage gravy and biscuits, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, candied yams, fried apples, green beans, and a dessert buffet. Now in its fifteenth year, the event is a revival of a century-old Harrison Township tradition.
“The menu entrée is a play on words,” said Society president, Bob Schumann. “We serve sausage – the ‘ground’ hog – to celebrate the holiday.”
The dinner is a fun-filled evening for the entire family. In addition to the home-cooked menu, the program includes an emcee decked out in tails and top hat, a popular silent auction and perhaps the only opportunity in South Jersey to sing Groundhog Day songs.
Tickets for the event are $15 and available at the Amazing Grace Resource Center, 46 South Main St., Mullica Hill (856-478-9800) and at the door. Advance purchase is recommended since seating is limited.
All proceeds benefit the society’s exhibitions and educational programs at the Old Town Hall Museum, located at the intersection of S. Main St. and Woodstown Rd. in the heart of the Mullica Hill Historic District.
