Friday Night's Fyke Program

4-Nature of Meadowlands cover smI am all set to present my slide show and talk on "The Nature of the Meadowlands," the Meadowlands Commission's new coffee-table book, on Friday night -- but please watch the weather.

Snow is in some forecasts, and if roads appear to be getting treacherous by 6:30 p.m., we will reschedule.

Check this blog for updates. If you have any questions regarding whether the show will go on as planned, call the NJMC's Jim Wright at 201-469-7349.

The talk will begin at 8:15 at Allendale's Borough Hall at 500 Crescent Ave. (in Allendale, natch).
