No need to because it’s not for bachurim and there’s no family seating. What does surprise me is that the name Blue Claws is metioned and not the corner of Cedar Bridge and New Hampshire!

Thank you so much, looking forward!!!

The second and 3rd show listed in yellow seems to have the time written wrong, I would guess it would be 2:00-2:30 and 4:00-4:30.

LS, thank you for the pick-up. It will be corrected shortly.

b yosher, it’s in the parking lot and not in the stadium. Multiple wide access roads, ample parking spaces, and space for the event were issues that we solve at Blue Claws. I’m not aware of a BMG site with these attributes. But if this venue is offensive to you then obviously it’s your option to not attend.

Wish could come but one child does not have immunity to measles (even after being vaccinated!)

will tznius issues be addressed with multiple men and women in close proximity to each other, the Chasidish chevra would not allow it, how can an Ir Torah be more tolerant? I read that many gedolim didn’t go out on trips on chol hamoed but rather spent quality time at home, as “outlets” by its definition mean one forgets Chas Veshalom that there is an Ribono Shel Olam, an outlet should be reading books about Gedolim.

tznius?

Tznius is not the only thing that counts. If everyone who comes is vaccinated, the zechus will protect just as much as tznius could.

Right!

That’s what the schools seem to think. Never did we have across the board kids being sent home when tznius is not 100%, only when vaccination is not 100%.

Thank you Dr. Roberts for probably spending in the 6 figure range to make this great Chol Hamoed venue happen. I am sure countless hours went into planning and organizing this as well. Thank you so very much for your amazing generosity and selfless devotion.

Thanks Dr Roberts. Your giving and giving with kindness and generosity is noticed and is an example to emulate! May you be zoche to tons of bracha and continued hatzlacha!!

Dr. Roberts, yaasher koach, you should be gebentched. Please ignore all negative comments. Apparently those posters are either clueless about your generosity in making this amazing event, or suffer from poor midos in the name of frumkeit.
I am awed by your generosity and devotion to the families and children of this Torah community. I remember bringing my oldest children to your backyard carnivals, and then to each new venue as our town has grown. The fun they had and the savings my family appreciated will not be forgotten. I look forward to bringing my grandchildren this year, among them children of rebbeim and kollel yungerleit. May H’ bless you with gezunt,
Nachas,bracha and Hatzlacha so you can continue with all your wonderful work .

duvid- I will let others give you their take but my take is, I think tznius is a consideration as it always is, but there gets to a point where each and every person has to go his own extra mile. I don’t think this setup (if you will) is any different than walking down your street or shopping in a grocery store. As so long as all the gidrei tznius are in play as they are in this venue (Dr Roberts would
have it no other way) , the rest becomes a person’s own choice if he feels hes able to live up to what is expected of him.
