A Joyous Treat of Holiday Sights & Sounds

On December 13th and 20th, visitors to the district listen to the Salvation Army Brass Ensemble, whose sound is always synonymous with the season while they strolled and performed holiday classics at several locations in the district.

Clowns & Balloons
On Saturdays May 10th and June 14th, visitors and local residents enjoyed the antics of Polka Dot, a popular costumed character who entertained children and families as part of a "Clowns & Balloons" event sponsored by the River Road Improvement Corporation (RRIC) in cooperation with Columbia Bank.
By popular demand, Polka Dot made appearances in May and June bringing smiles to everyone as he strolled the River Road district between Berdan and Bergen Avenues, and on Fair Lawn Avenue between Sixth and George Streets. Polka Dot gave away free balloon sculptures and contributed to the fun and friendly atmosphere on River Road for shoppers, visitors and the district’s business community.
The events were sponsored by the River Road Improvement Corporation in cooperation with Columbia Bank. |

Members of the Fair Lawn Majors’ Columbia Bank-sponsored Little League team shared a laugh with Polka Dot along River Road. The team is coached by John Klimowich, Senior Vice President, Controller for Columbia Bank. |
