The Swedesboro-Woolwich Parks & Recreation Committee has been busy planning lots of exciting activities for our community.
Holiday Card Writing
The Parks and Rec Committee is hosting a holiday card writing party on Monday, Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in honor of Veteran’s Day. We will be writing out cards to send to active-duty military personnel.
We are asking the community to stop by the foyer of the Woolwich Municipal Building and join us in writing out the cards. The cards will be provided. The cards will be shipped to this group: https://militaryholidaycardchallenge.com.
Gingerbread House Decorating Contest
We have a new activity for the holidays — a Gingerbread House Decorating Contest for three age groups: age 10 and under, age 11 to 16, and age 17 to 100+.
The Gingerbread House decorating contest is not limited to houses. The scene can be trains, toys, etc. Store bought kits can be entered into the contest. Entries are due by Dec. 6 at 11 a.m.
This activity is not limited to Swedesboro Woolwich residents. It is open to everyone.
Residents must bring a canned good or non-perishable item to the Municipal Building Construction Office to receive a ballot to vote. Residents can vote more than once. Just bring another donation item.
Based on the voting results, there will be one prize awarded in each age category. A complete list of contest guidelines will be posted on the Woolwich Twp website and the Swedesboro-Woolwich Parks and Recreation Facebook page.
