The annual event raises money for Somerset Medical Center, but also brings together picnic crowd, elegant tent parties — and fireworks.
Thursday night was a warm summer evening, but not so stiflingly hot as on Wednesday. And Friday's predicted showers were off in the future. Instead, classical music, fine food and socializing made Music at Moorland in Far Hills a perfect evening for many hundreds of music lovers, and — perhaps just as much — for those who wanted the thrill of watching a great fireworks show. The 11th annual event again featured the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and fireworks by the world-famous Grucci family of Long Island. "The best part is the hospital [Somerset Medical Center] gets the funds to expand and do good," said Fritz Mueller of Far Hills, who was one of the first co-chairmen of the event when it launched. The night out is also fun, he added. …

If I were the home owners there, I would be fuming!!!! This whole … more ›
