Blairstown, NJ, well known for its amazing outdoor activities and natural spaces, has just been named New Jersey's first Appalachian Trail community. According to Lehigh Valley Live, that puts Blairstown on trail guidebooks, hiking maps and on the trail's website.  Warren County's Public Information Director Art Charlton noted that this could mean enhanced business for the town as hikers use amenities like the laundromat, grocery stores, restaurants and more.

Greater Blairstown Business Association (GBBA) member, Gabrielle Andrews, the director of the Mohican Outdoor Center in town, says, "I was on-board with this from the get-go. I think for me, I live here on the property and anything I can do to support our town I'll do."

Local businesses and community groups are planning an official designation ceremony for Earth Day, April 22, from 11 am to 5 pm. The designation ceremony will be followed by a Street Fair with many of your favorite local businesses, and GBBA members, in attendance, as well as live music, food, walking tours and special trolley tours to Catfish Fire Tower and Millbrook Village.  Complete event details can be found on Facebook.
