A fun, low-keyed fund-raiser for Allendale's Fell House, that stately white mansion just down the street from the Celery Farm parking lot on Franklin Turnpike, is scheduled for the Allendale Bar and Grill next Monday (August 30) from 5 p.m. to closing.

Buy dinner, a snack, a beer, a glass of wine, and part of the proceeds will go to the Concerned Citizens of Allendale, a non-profit grassroots group.

Find out more about why the house is so valuable historically and why the property is so valuable environmentally. Or just relax and savor the last few days (unofficially) of summer. I hope to see you there.
