Photo of the Day: Lantern Display, Van Saun County Park, Paramus NJ

I spent an hour or so last Sunday walking around Van Saun County Park, northwest of me in Bergen County, NJ. Throughout most of the rest of the year, the picnic tables in this 146-acre suburban park are filled—and I bet even more so during this pandemic, as more people shied away from indoor settings. Last week, with temperatures plunging, that was not the case, and I suspect that this state of affairs will continue over the next three months.

If parents weren’t out eating, however, many were walking around with their kids near the entrance to the park’s zoo. The lights were set up for “Let It GLOW! A Holiday Lantern Spectacular,” which began on November 26 and will continue from now to January 30 every Thursday through Sunday, from 4 to 9.
