Cake Boss, Tree Lighting & More

It's what's going on in the Red Bank-Shrewsbury area this week.

Good chilly Monday morning to you, friends and fans.

Brrrrr! Hope you had a good weekend and stayed warm and entertained. There was certainly a lot going on. If you missed any news from last week, be sure to check our round-up of top stories by clicking here.

And, it's on to a new week with Thanksgiving a few days away.

Around the towns this week …

• Well, if you need to pick up a dessert for the holidays, your bakery choices are about to expand. Carlo's Bakery Red Bank, of Cake Boss fame, is opening on Broad Street today at 4 p.m.

• Red Bank's Borough Council meeting was moved from last Wednesday to tonight at 6:30 p.m.

• And, the tree lighting tradition returns to Red Bank on Friday when Santa arrives on a train from Little Silver and marches, or rides, in a parade from the train station to the center of town where Tim McLoone's Holiday Express will perform along with others and the tree will be lit.

Weather, sun and moon …

• Yes, it's going to stay chilly this week, and we're hearing we may be in for some stormy weather on Tuesday and Wednesday. So, be careful driving, if you are.

• For some mystical sun and moon information, or just your own interest, check out the moon phase, amount of sunlight and moonlight during the day and more by clicking here.

We'll be bringing you some meeting news, photo galleries of the arrival of Carlo's and more.

Until then, I'll see you around the towns …
