The monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Town Hall/Municipal Building beginning at 7:00 p.m. Please note: these meeting dates are subject to change.
The Fredon Recreation Commission meets monthly throughout the year to coordinate the town’s recreation activities. We continue to improve the facilities at Lodestar Park. Our pavilion continues to be a focal point for our park. Containing a full kitchen and two full restrooms, it is used for township events and by our sports organizations to raise money.
The Commission’s volunteers have been working hard this year planning township events which continue to be popular and well attended. The Commission is always looking for new ideas for our community events.
The fall season bring our annual fall festival/Halloween movie double feature. Residents come out to pick pumpkins, enjoy refreshments an spend time with their neighbors. Children, of all ages, have enjoyed our (age appropriate) Halloween “spooktacular” double feature .
Ring in the festive holiday season with our annual Tree Lighting ceremony at the Civic Center. This event usually takes place the first Monday in December (this date is subject to change). This event also brings an early sighting of the Jolly Old Elf from the North Pole. Community members come out and enjoy hot chocolate and other refreshments (free of charge) and listen to some heart warming sing-a-longs. The Fredon Recreation Commission is working on constructing our own, portable, ice skating rink for the 2010/2011 winter season. Stay tuned for more information about this new event in the coming fall months. We will begin our New Year with the ever-popular Easter Egg hunt. This event will take place on Saturday March 27th, 2010. Easter Egg relay races will begin at 10:40 a.m., and the Egg hunt will start at 11:00 a.m. Hop on down for some fantastic Easter Egg fun, and take a picture with our very own Fredon Easter bunny.
Once the weather gets warmer, the Commission will begin showing the movies “in the park”; movies for children of all ages will be shown at dusk, and refreshments will be sold for a small fee. This event will be advertised in the New Jersey Herald, on the Township sign, and through the Fredon Township school.
The month of May brings our town wide Fredon Day Festival. This year Fredon Day will be held on Saturday May 22nd, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Lodestar Park, with a rain date of Sunday, May 23rd, 2010. There will be plenty of games and activities for everyone. A pie eating contest, entertainment, and our very own Miss Fredon 2010 contest. Any young woman, age 17-22 who resides in Fredon is eligible to compete in the Miss Fredon contest. The winner goes to the Queen of the fair competition. We are proud to say that we have had several contestants go on to be crowned Queen of the Fair! Save the date….and come out and join friends and neighbors for dinner in the park! Bring a blanket, at dusk, we will be ending this fabulous day with a movie “under the stars”. Other events that are currently being discussed are bus trips to NYC events, or sporting events. Also, we hope to offer discounted Hershey Park tickets to our residents this year.

Although many thing that we handle the sports activities in the community, our actual responsibility is to maintain and continue to improve Lodestar Park, and provide community events as listed above. We do support our local youth sports organizations through maintaining the fields at the park, and donating to their organizations for needed items. We also provide a men’s basketball program and a Fredon Ski Club.
