Recent Banner Placement Indicates Planet Fitness And Stem Academy Still Coming To Robbinsville, NJ Location

January 25, 2021

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ (MERCER)–Recent banners placed at the Foxmoor Shopping Center on Washington Boulevard indicate Planet Fitness is still coming to Robbinsville. According to one store owner in the center the banners were noticed late last week and it was good news that the fitness center and academy were still coming to the shopping center. The store owner believes the delay is because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Planet Fitness has not announced the Robbinsville location on their website yet but once construction starts usually Planet Fitness posts a “Coming Soon” on their Gyms Near Me page.

2021 Hamilton St. Patrick’s Day Parade Cancelled Due To COVID-19, Committee Looks Forward To 2022

Statement from Mayor Martin and Chairman Vince McKelvey of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee of Hamilton:

January 25, 2021

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (MERCER)–It is with great disappointment and regret that after careful consideration of the Hamilton Township St. Patrick’s Day Parade Board of Trustees, the 2021 Hamilton St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been canceled. In the best interest of all involved, including attendees, it was mutually decided that the Parade could not be held safely during the COVID-19 pandemic we continue to face.

While Hamiltonians are saddened that they could not celebrate and honor the 2020 Grand Marshal Jerry Sheridan and Miss St. Patrick Nicole Brown, we remain thankful for the outpouring of support the Parade Committee has continued to receive, particularly from our partners including the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, IBEW Electrical Workers Local Union No. 269, First Bank, and Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union 9. Perhaps most of all, we thank the loyal parade attendees, who we hope stay safe and well during these troubling times. We look forward to safely celebrating St. Patrick’s Day together in 2022. Erin go Bragh!
