Veteran's Day ceremony 2026

2026-11-13T06:46:17.927-06:00

13-November-2026

On Wednesday-11-November, the Bogota VFW Ralph Hall Post #5561 held their annual Veteran's Day Ceremony. The evening began with a prayer from Mr. Joel Karpoff. Then Post Commander Alexander Hernandez asking those veterans in the audience to stand and be recognized. They said their name and which branch of the Armed Forces they were a part of.
This was followed by Bogota Mayor Daniele Fede thanking all Veterans for their service, and the Bogota VFW Post #5561 for their work in the community.
The Star-Spangled Banner was sung, with a short film describing how Mr. Frances Scott Key wrote the poem about what he observed in Baltimore Harbor during the war of 1812. The poem was printed in a number of newspapers. Later on, the words were set to music. These would be use at Fourth of July events and other flag raising events. In 1917 President Woodrow Wilson asked for an official version of the song. Music by English composer Mr. John Stafford Smith was chosen and first played in December of 1917. In 1931 the Star-Spangled Banner was named the official National Anthem of the United States of America.
Through-out the event other patriotic songs were sung.
The next part was to announce the winner of the 2026 Patriots Pen contest. This was won by Ms. Beverly Eromosele of the Bogota Middle School. The theme was "What a Veteran Taught Me About America". In her essay Ms. Eromosele learned the importance of Gratitude by observing her Father's acts of kindness that can leave a lasting impression.
The next announcement was to name this year's Citizen of the Year. Ms. Mary Wynman for her work with the Bogota Senior Club.
Other awards were given to Mr. Robert Hoover in appreciation overseeing the Patriots Pen contest.
Along with Mr. Brandon Escobar awarded a Commendation in furthering the ideals of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The event closed with a prayer from Mr. Joel Karpoff.
The next VFW event will be on Saturday-12-December with a Holiday Bazaar starting at 12:00n.
It will be held in the Post Hall at 241 W. Shore Ave. This is open to the Public.

2026-11-05T13:38:07.162-06:00

5-November-2026
On Saturday-31-October, the newly renamed "Beetch Barn Makers Space", crafting centre had an opening preview in its new location. This location is at 39B W. Ft. Lee Rd. Bogota NJ.
This is an updated location of the original The Beetch Barn that was across the street and offer various crafting projects.
Owner Ms. Robin Aldridge has move to expanded site to allow a larger space, and more equipment to have a greater possibility for the public to make their own Do it Yourself items.
In her announcement Ms. Aldrige said:
Halloween brought more than just tricks and treats to Bogota this year! The Beetch Barn welcomed friends, neighbors, and members of the community for a sneak peek at its newly expanded and rebranded Maker Space at 39B W. Fort Lee Road.
After months of hard work, renovations, and a whole lot of creative chaos, we were excited to finally open the doors and share the new space with the community. The larger location offers even more opportunities for crafting, sewing, creating, and bringing people together. While the space has grown and the name has changed, the heart of The Beetch Barn remains the same: a fun, welcoming place where creativity is encouraged, all abilities are welcome, and perfection is never required.
The Halloween sneak peek was just the beginning! The Beetch Barn Maker Space will be announcing its official Grand Reopening Celebration soon, and the entire community is invited to join in the fun.
After all, Crafting is Better Together!

Ridgefield Park Fourth of July

2026-10-27T12:44:23.989-05:00

27-October-2026

Mon Oct 26 the Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Committee held their first meeting for the 2027 133rd Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Celebration.
First, the 2027 Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Celebration will be held on Monday July 5.
Some correspondences were read. One was from the Chairperson of the Honor Students section. She said due to a change in schedules she could not hold this post. But will be available if needed. A second letter was read from New Jersey Governor Ms. Mikie Sherrill congratulating the Fourth of July Committee, and all of Ridgefield Park for the successful event.
The sub committee's chairpersons gave some brief reports. The Chairperson of the Civic Parade announced that two bands will not be a part of the 2027 parade because they have disbanded. One band was the Colonial Ancients Fife and Drum Corps which had their 50th year in the parade. He has started to contact other bands if they would be interested in marching in Ridgefield Park.
The Chairperson of the Baby and Youth Parade Committee only announcement was to ask for ideas for a theme of the 2027 Parade. Ideas will be presented at the next meeting.
The rest of the meeting dealt with general issues. One was to fill openings for a chairperson in a number of sub-committees. These include: the Honor Students section, Publicity, and online media, a dedicated photographer for certain meetings along with the day's events, and anyone who wanted to volunteer to work any number of the sub-committees. Another need for volunteers is the day of the events. Raising the flag to start the day, leading each group for the Baby and Youth Parade, coordaining the participants in each division, and carrying banners in front of some groups.
The major item of concern is in need of donations to cover the cost of this year’s parade, and to ensure the parade will continue in 2027, and beyond.
The members talked about a variety of fundraising ideas, which will be disgust at the next meeting.
There is also a need for donations of goods and services that will be needed before and during the day of July 5th. All Groups and Businesses who donate to the Committee will be listed in the program.
Donation Checks should be mailed to the Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Citizens Committee at 234 Main St. Ridgefield Park NJ 07660. Anyone interested can contact them at: rpnj4thcommittee@yahoo.com
The 2027 Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Celebration will take place on Monday July 5. This will be the 133rd year of making Ridgefield Park being "The Only Place to Be on the 4th of July".
Next meeting is Mon Jan 25, 2027, at 7:30p. in the Public Meeting Chamber on the third floor of 234 Main St. It is open to the Public.

Haunted Library

2026-10-26T12:11:18.710-05:00

26-October-2026
On Saturday 24-October, the Bogota Public Library started the day with their "Not-so-Scary Storytime". This was held in the Children’s Reading Center and led by Mr. Tom Skrnich. The stories he chose were called “Frankenkitty,” where a mad scientist creates a cat but doesn’t know how to take care of it. Then Ms. Jenifer Arias read “5 More Sleeps ‘til Halloween”, where a young boy plans his time for Halloween in the days leading up to it. When the stories were done, Mr. Skrnich led the children in a dance about eating a banana.
After the Not-so-Scary Storytime had finished, the Library’s staff and their volunteers held their Haunted Library on the second-floor Senior Center. Costumed students were able to play a number of games that included: Cornhole with a pumpkin board, Octopus Ring-toss, 11 Pin Bowling, and throwing a ball at a tower of cans to knock them down.
There was also a variety of Treats offered.
For the brave, there was also a chance to walk through the dark tunnel. This was set-up full of colored lights, eerie sounds and props that jumped toward the walkers. Children dressed in costumes walked through the tunnel to find out if they could make it to the other end. Some would need to hold on to a parent, while others tried it on their own. They were rewarded with plushies and stickers after making it out of the darkness. The attendees featured Princesses, Witches, and Superheroes, as well as popular characters like Goku and Perry the Platypus. There were also a few group costumes, such as an Addams family and a family that referenced the "It" movies.
