About HOLLAND RIDGE FARMS:
The Jansens have been in the tulip industry for over 100 years. Great Opa Casey was a bulb grower and seller in Holland. He taught his son, Casey Sr., who came to America as a teenager and started a tulip growing business right here in New Jersey! In turn, Casey Sr. taught his son, Casey Jr. the tricks of the trade. Together they grow and sell millions of fresh cut tulips to customers across the United States.

FUN FRIENDS, WHERE THE FUN NEVER ENDS!

Join us after work for 'ARCADE GAME NIGHT' featuring all the "OLD SCHOOL ARCADE GAMES" we grew up with back in our high-school days...such as PAC MAN, ASTEROIDS, SPACE INVADERS, MISSILE COMMAND, DONKEY KONG, PINBALL MACHINES, AIR HOCKEY AND MORE..... So much fun!

BILLY'S MIDWAY ARCADE is located on the second floor above THE CELTIC CORNER PUB, 312 Lafayette Ave Hawthorne NJ. The entrance is next to the parking garage on the Diamond Bridge Avenue side. Classic arcade games from 1954-2004. Hourly & daily admission.

The arcade is geared toward nostalgic adults (not "modern kid" arcade). The arcade is entirely time based. There are no pesky quarters or tokens required, because none of the games are pay-per-play. The entire arcade is set to free-play, so we can enjoy as many games as we would like while only paying for the time we are there.

By request, the Arcade has added a prize crane that is set to "play until you win" and a gumball machine style pinball game that dispenses rubber balls; both of these are pay-to-play but you are guaranteed to win something with each play. The prize crane is currently set at $2 per play and is loaded with an assortment of stuffed toys. The pinball game is 25 cents and will dispense 1 ball after you play with it but you can win a second ball by hitting the marked target.

Arrive at 6:00 p.m. to play classic arcade games from 6:00-7:00 p.m. with Meet-Up members.

Afterwards, we will go downstairs to THE CELTIC IRISH PUB for food and drinks.

FUN FRIENDS, WHERE THE ADVENTURES NEVER END!

Did you know that Alpaca's are animals in the same family as camels and llama's? Alpacas originate in the Andes mountains in Peru. Their wool is often used in clothing and blankets. Alpacas are gentle, friendly creatures. Nick and his family at BLUEBIRD FARM ALPACAS have dedicated their lives to conservation, rescuing, breeding and showing Alpaca's at their 15 acre farm. The scenic and picturesque farm offers a unique and interactive experience. We will get to pet, cuddle, feed and walk with Alpacas as we interact and learn about them.

With the beautiful Spring weather, let's enjoy a day outdoors at a real ALPACA FARM followed by a picnic! Join us for a truly unique and exciting experience at BLUE BIRD FARM ALPACA'S in Peapack, NJ. This is a fun event for Animal Lovers!

We will have fun learning about these animals, petting and photographing us with these adorable Alpacca while enjoying this beautiful outdoor weather on a real Alpacca Farm. Especially adorable are the babies!
