The Easter Bunny draws a crowd waiting for the big search for over 2,000 eggs and prizes to begin. The 16th Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held at Michael Debbi Park in Richland on Saturday, March 27th.

The month of March 2010 will long be remembered for massive flooding throughout Buena Vista Township. Certain dates in the month of March were declared a Federal Disaster Area by both Governor Christie and President Obama. The flooding resulted from winter snow storms that dumped over six feet of snow in December and January. That snow was followed by heavy rains on several occasions which brought the water table up to an all time high throughout Buena Vista Township. There simply was no place for the water to go. Our Public Works Department did everything they could to resolve issues for our residents.

Summer Concert Series in July and August

Mark your calendars for most every Wednesday night in July and August at Michael Debbi Park in Richland. There is good entertainment in your home town with big band sounds and toe tapping melodies. The Buena Vista Township Special Events Committee invites you to sit out under the stars and enjoy some affordable refreshments as you listen to our Summer Concert Series. All concerts begin at 7 pm sharp and last until 9 pm. They are performed at the Special Events Center Gazebo – rain or shine. If it rains, the concert can be enjoyed under our large Veterans Pavilion.

The following is a list of our Summer Concert dates and performers that are scheduled for the 2010 season: July 7 – The Gene Boney Band, July 14 – Music by John Lolli, July 21 – John Clark Little Big Band, July 28 – The 4 J’s Band, August 4 –Lonnie Youngblood, August 11 – Bob Ferris Orchestra, August 18 – City Rhythm Orchestra, and August 25 – Buddy Gale Orchestra.

Leo Foy, a former Fire Chief for the Milmay Volunteer Fire Company and a longtime electrician in our community retired at the end of 2009. The Township Committee presented Leo with a plaque honoring his achievements at their meeting held on January 25, 2010.
