HOT ROD CRUISE NIGHT / FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD / BLUE ARROW FARM / Pine Island

NEW JERSEY'S ULTIMATE SINGLE'S MEET-UP GROUP, WHERE THE FUN NEVER STOPS!

Rev up your Engines! Hot Rod Cruise Night & Concert Series is back for the 2025 season! Every Wednesday from May through October.

Join MINGLE AROUND SINGLE'S MeetUp Group in the outdoor pavilliion at BLUE ARROW FARM for HOT ROD CRUISE NIGHT & CONCERT SERIES with live music by FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD, The best little 80s Bluegrass band ya'll ever did hear!

In 2019, in the northeastern most reaches of Appalachia, on the outskirts of the state that brought the world Springsteen, Dramarama, Bon Jovi, and Brooke Shields, five friends tired of playing punk and rockabilly came together in a shared love of americana and set out to play the melodies of these legendary storytellers of yesteryear. Failing at that, they rummaged through their extensive 30 year-old mixtape collection and rediscovered the musicians that inspired them throughout their young lives.

And so, FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD was born.

FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD puts the “CBG” back in CBGB. Through their covers of classic country western legends like Talking Heads, Duran Duran, Wham!, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Depeche Mode, this band is anything but typical. Synthesizers may be banjos and sexy saxes kazoos, but the heart, energy, and hooks of these iconic artists remain intact as FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD retell their stories in the americana tradition.

Join FRANKIE GOES TO DOLLYWOOD for a totally rad barnburner of a hootenanny filled with the iconic music and pop culture references that inspired and shaped a generation of latch key kids with little parental supervision. Their love of the 80s is infectious in their live shows and audiences of all ages can expect a repertoire of music as varied in genres as MTV’s top 20 in 1983. So put on your church shoes, your best nighttime sunglasses, bust out the Aqua Net, and party with the best dang 80s americana band this side of ’89!

Guaranteed to have a great time!

BLUE ARROW FARM is an INDOOR and OUTDOOR entertainment venue and animal rescue sanctuary featuring live music, private parties, and events all year!

BLUE ARROW FARM is an outdoor entertainment facility located in scenic Orange County, NY. BLUE ARROW FARM will exceed all your entertainment wishes! Enjoy the artistic beauty of BLUE ARROW FARM and mosey through the sunflower mazes and butterfly sanctuary as you marvel at the life-sized dinosaurs and ride the Blue Arrow Express train around a half-mile track! The ambiance of the farm and the numerous varieties of trees and flowers enliven your senses. While you're there, don’t forget to take pictures of the farm's herd of rescued horses, all being pampered and watched over by the magnificent staff of horse experts. Come enjoy their awesome hospitality!

BLUE ARROW FARM is the brainchild of Don Oriolo, a lifelong animal activist. When the overgrown, falling down farm came up for sale, Don made a commitment to buy it and bring it back to its one-time glory of the winter headquarters for the Meadowlands racehorses — the difference being that Don’s mission was to create a loving, safe environment for the horses (and every other animal for that matter) that need rescuing from ofttimes deplorable conditions. Don took this on using his own personal resources. Horses, alpaca, cows, sheep, goats, mules, chickens, ducks, and pigs who were tossed away, being sent to slaughter, were all rescued and given sanctuary by Don and his amazing staff. Don also spearheaded the biggest cat rescue of over 200 cats recorded in the history of the northeast, contracting a chronic airborne illness in the process. Blue Arrow Farm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3).

The owner of Blue Arrow Farm, Don Oriolo is well known across the entertainment spectrum, having been a fixture in the art, music, television and film industries for decades. He took over the Felix the Cat franchise when his father Joe Oriolo, co-creator of the modern day Felix cartoon character, passed away in 1985, and has become beloved as the “Felix the Cat guy” for his work in continuing the legacy.
He is also widely admired for his charitable and philanthropic endeavors — the latest of which being Blue Arrow's commitment to providing a sanctuary for animals in need.

Sadly, animals don’t know about economics, shortages, or lack of business. They need to eat, range, and be sheltered. This is what Don and his staff continue to do at BLUE ARROW FARM! Everything you can imagine, from hay, to grain, medicine, vets, electric, and so on has inflated out of control. They are planning on having a benefit once a month at Blue Arrow with all proceeds going to the welfare of the horses, cows, alpaca, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, pigs, etc. Of course there will be entertainment and refreshments, and the personal touch of the Blue Arrow staff that everyone has come to love will still be front and center. We hope you will support this wonderful cause.
Information will be listed on our website and social media. Thank you so much for your participation!
