The Westfield Historic Preservation Society hosts its annual “Build Westfield” event on Saturday, January 24th at Westfield High School. This event allows teams of up to four people to recreate local historical buildings and/or landmarks out of more than 60,000 Legos. They also provide 50 different photographs to use as inspiration for your Lego recreation.

Cranford Souperhero Stroll 2026

The Cranford Souperhero Stroll takes place next weekend (January 17th & 18th). Tickets cost just $10 per person. Each ticket provides you with a sampling of soups from various downtown Cranford restaurants. Additionally, take a walk around the downtown area to see original superheroes (aka “souperheroes”) made entirely out of balloons on display. Also, please make sure you bring your own cans of soup to donate to our local food pantries. Tickets may be purchased online here. Choose between the noon to 2 pm or 2 pm to 4 pm slots. This allows restaurants to accommodate more people.

I am grateful to all who entrusted me with your life-changing real estate moves and to all who referred me to your family and friends!
