POMPTON PLAINS, NJ – Cedar Crest recently held a three-day anniversary celebration called “Cedar Fest.” Hundreds of Cedar Crest’s more than 1,200 residents and 700 employees turned out to celebrate the momentous occasion of Cedar Crest’s five-year anniversary.
The celebration began with a festive street fair, complete with Boardwalk games such as a shooting gallery, quarterback toss, “froggy fling,” and baseball toss. Guests also threw darts at balloons, and tried their hands at sand art and spin art.
“This is the first time I have felt like a kid again in a very long time,” exclaimed a joyous Shirley Keller, who lives at Cedar Crest. “I remember my children doing things like this, but this is my first time,” she added.
Upstairs, participants meandered through vendor tables of jewelry, pocket books, hats, knitted items, and holiday decorations. Many purchased early holiday gifts for loved ones and even for themselves.
“I love being able to eat and shop at the same time,” said resident Arlene Bezem.
