Cheer Jets Off to Pittsburgh

Sendoff just one thing you can do this weekend in the area.

 

It's not every day you get to celebrate a professional sports team's success with that team. It's also rare to be able to do that in a town nearby. Morris County residents have the opportunity to do just that this weekend, as well as take part in a number of other fun events. As always, more information about the events, along with addresses for the venues, can be found by clicking the links.

Waive on the J-E-T-S–You don't have to be a die-hard New York Jets fan to get caught up in the excitement of the AFC Championship Game this weekend. However, if you are big fan of the team, you'll definitely want to head to the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center at One Jets Drive in Florham Park on Saturday. The team is holding a sendoff event for the team from 9 a.m. to noon. Thousands are expected, so be prepared to to join in with their screams.

Take in Some Gospel–You have a chance on Saturday to see what many believe is the most famous gospel choir in the country. Head to the Community Theater in Morristown at 8 p.m. to take in the Harlem Gospel Chior's concert. The theater's website says the group will share its "message of love, inspiration and joy of faith with rich harmonies that touch the depths of your soul..." Tickets range from $27 to $47 and can be purchased here.

Get Recruited For Rollerderby–The Jerzey Derby Brigade is looking for skaters, refs, and volunteers. Recruitment is from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday on Pine Street in Morristown. E-mail info@jerzeyderby.com for more information.

Check Out a Concert Series–The Sanctuary Concert Series this Saturday will be holding a show starring Chris Smither and opener Tracy Grammer Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township. The current Smither tour is in support of his thirteenth album, “Time Stands Still.” Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at (973) 376-4946, or e-mailing boxoffice@sanctuaryconcerts.org.

It's Jazz Time–For those who know of Shanghai Jazz in Madison, or for newbies, it's never a bad time to enjoy some food and music at the same time. This Saturday, head over for the Steve Turre Quartet. Turre, a trumbonist, is a member of the "Saturday Night Live" band and is highly acclaimed. Seatings are at 6:30 and 8:45 p.m.
