A Floating Holiday Icon: Dennisville Lake Christmas Tree Lights Up the Season

  As the holiday season gets into full swing, members of the Dennis Fire Company embraced the mild (at the time) December weather to continue a cherished tradition: the launching of the Dennisville Lake (Johnson’s Pond) Christmas Tree. This decades-long practice is a highlight of the local festivities and brings holiday cheer to the community. The tree, generously donated by Krogman’s Farm in Dennisville, now floats beautifully on the lake, lit to spread the warmth and joy of the season. Residents and visitors are encouraged to stop by and admire the glowing centerpiece as they travel through the district this holiday season. This annual event showcases the strong community spirit and dedication of the Dennis Fire Company, keeping the tradition alive for all to enjoy.

Celebrate the Season Year-Round at Winterwood Gift & Christmas Shoppe

 Winterwood Gift & Christmas Shoppe is one of New Jersey’s largest Christmas stores. Open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, it features an extensive selection of holiday ornaments, decorations, and gifts. Winterwood’s flagship store, located at 3137 Route 9 in Rio Grande, has been delighting visitors for years. A second shop is nestled at 526 Washington Street in Cape May, offering a similarly festive experience. Both locations are open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. Visitors are immersed in a festive atmosphere filled with the scents and sights of Christmas, garlands, and ornaments, making it a cherished destination for holiday traditions.

Answer to the December 4th Trivia Question

What historic feature can still be seen at Sunset Beach in Cape May, New Jersey?

A) The remains of a World War II bunker
B) A Victorian-era carousel
C) The sunken concrete ship S.S. Atlantus
D) The original Congress Hall hotel

Answer: C) The sunken concrete ship S.S. Atlantus

The S.S. Atlantus, a World War I-era concrete ship, sank off the coast of Cape May in 1926 and its remains are still visible from Sunset Beach. This ship was part of an experimental program to create durable concrete ships, but it met its fate during a storm while being used to create a ferry dock
