Jersey Pride was alive and well Saturday at Bloomfield’s Harvest Fest, which continues at noon today. One booth which got our attention sold T-shirts celebrating our oft-maligned state. “Don’t Hate The Garden State†and our favorite, “It’s My Way Or The Parkwayâ€.
The Tees are the brainchild of twenty something entrepreneur Jeffrey Brown, and his buddies Mark and Devon, who hail from Morristown. They've called their company Dirty Jerseys.
There’s rides for the kids, bargains galore and great music on two stages, as well as a lot of tasty and “interesting†food:
Also today there's Montclair Art Museum's Annual Native American Powwow, from 1 to 5 p.m.

do we have a new state slogan yet? inquiring minds want to know.
Yummy -- Deep Fried Oreos -- my favorite!! Hey, nice to see more Bloomfield coverage here of late, its good to see that we are the "B" in Baristaville!
that can't be real..Deep Fried Oreos...what does one do, dunk in boiling milk..disgusting
How many pounds did the above Fried Food van -- selling deep fried oreos, funnel cake and just plain fried dough -- contribute to the collective and ever expanding American waistband this weekend?
Oh yes, the deep fried Oreos are for real and delicious! My man and I consumed those along with a batch of what we expected to be deep fried bananas foster (which we ordered) but turned out to be deep fried cheese cake bites (disgusting!) We were not happy with this unpleasant surprise but were so stuffed from the Oreos that we didn't have the will power to go back and complain. If you are wondering, I am certain our waistlines did expand but it was well worth it. A bike ride for him and a jog for me on this beautiful day should help to reverse the damage.
Fat Police,
Go talk to that MIMI person in West Orange. You deserve her.
gee, it looks more like the boardwalk than a celebration of the harvest. too bad.
Try as I might I can't find a way to make this into an attack on Remsen.
There were no Montclair T-shirts 'cause the log suxs.
Didn't the town pay for a logo and then not use it?
That was money well spent wasn't it. I wonder who approved paying the consultant for work that the town wasn't going to use?
Could it have been
R-E-M-S-E-N.
What's that spell.
OOH what's that smell.
Oh, no puking here Mr. Mayor.
Iceman,
We do have a new state slogan:
Skip the Parkway bathrooms unless you want to meet our ex-governor.
GO New Jersey!
Dear Fat Police SUCK-- I'm guessing you're fat. Lose some weight and stop being such a pain in my tiny ass.
ROC=Remsen On Crack
It's pretty clear that Remsen is to blame. The baseball field trees, Crisco, the grossly illegal meeting (for which no punishment is too much) and his pot belly all clearly point to his having paid for the Deep Fried Oreo vender to subvert the health and welfare of our community. Remember this: ROC = Remsen On Crack.
Come on, people, let's use this an opportunity to say something positive for a change. I shall start: the lady in the "parkway" Tee has positively lovely rack.
Shouldn't all of the proceeds of the McGreevey book go to the people of NJ?
I agree with the lovely rack. However, it is ruined by the fact that Remsen and his sock puppet cabinet want to change the town into a condo haven. I have it on good authority that Remesen is using MEDC as a front to buy up pretty houses and tear them all down to be replaced with long term storage units.
Obviously:
No, the Montclair logo does not "suxs" as you say. The logo seems to be in use as intended. T-shirts could be cool but I am sure that T-shirts were not part of the initial plan. And if I recall correctly, there was an open and public bid for the logo project. The township ended up paying a nominal fee, a few thousand dollars, to some local group. You're being a hater, you're not funny at all and you really don't have your facts straight. It seems like you are just joking around but "hate humor" should come easy. To you it does not. Perhaps your day and thoughts might brighten up if you got of the pajamas you've been wearing since early Saturday night.
$15,000 is not nominal. At least it ain't nominal to me.
That's what was paid for the unused logo and the one that's being used SUX the big one!
Obviously- The new A&P is having a sale on Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Try it, they guarantee "No More Tears."
Who is the cutie in the blue t-shirt?
Re: food photo
"Obesity & You: It all starts at the Jersey boardwalk!"
Handsome: Her name is Jailbait. However, mom is another story altogether.
Both of these young ladies are 23-years-old. And cute, to boot!

I don't agree and think that the proceeds should go to his wives!
Love the pic of those cuties in the Tees -- babes of the week should be a regular Baristanet feature!
And I thought the shirts were selling themselves..... for sure, the cuties in them helped :)
