This Saturday, Eat Your Apples Me Hearties!

This Saturday, September 19th, is one busy day! Celtic Chairde Creations will be greeting m'lords and ladies at the Lakewood Lions Renaissance Fair in Pine Park (more on that tomorrow). It is also International Eat an Apple Day ... AND.... International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

International Eat an Apple Day reminds us of the helpful benefits of apples. As this fruits of eden come into season, why not take some time and go pick some for yourself!

There is nothing quite as refreshing as eating a crisp Red Delicious or Gala straight from the tree. There are many pick-your-own farms around, but our favorite is Terhune's. This Saturday and Sunday is Apple Day on the farm, and it's a great day for the entire family. The next day you can come to the Ren Faire!

And talking like a pirate is perfect at either location! To celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day you can: Watch all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies; watch Captain Blood or The Sea Hawk; call everyone matey; change your Facebook language to Pirate (really, you can do that!); fly the Jolly Roger; answer the phone "Aye matey"; etc.

Any way you look at it, the theme for this weekend is fun! Grab yourself an apple, unleash your inner buccaneer (in a good way) and come to the Lakewood Renaissance Fair, savvy?

September Weekends Continue to Sizzle with Shore Fun

Autumn may be fast approaching, and you can feel that nip of coolness in the air. But there's still plenty to do at the Jersey Shore - and Celtic Chairde Creations will be there!

First up this weekend is the Lavallette Heritage Festival. From 9 am to 5:30 pm, at Philadelphia Avenue and Bay Boulevard, you'll find crafters, artists, food to satisfy any palate, as well as music and games for all ages. Heritage Day celebrate the history of Lavallette with a festive day for all. The rain date is Sunday, September 13th. But...


On Sunday, we'll be at one of our favorite festivals of the year. The Friends of Island Beach State Park have prepared a great day with the 12th Annual Beach Plum Festival. Held in the park at Ocean Beach Bathing Area #1, this always turns out to be a wonderful, beautiful day. You can go on walking tours, pick beach plums, see a wide array of crafters, listen to great music, and learn about this natural wonder and the importance of keeping our estuary in the best possible shape it can be.

Plus, it's right on the beach. Who could ask for more.

We hope you'll join us at one - or both - of this sizzling end of summer celebrations. Mention this post and receive a free lip balm!

Crafts and Wine = a Fun Filled Weekend
