Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbecue experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. Here's their tips on how to save money on your Memorial Day feast. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead — say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of Barbeque America on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled rib eye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak.

On Monday, Fair Lawn remembered the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the armed forces.
It was a scorcher Monday for the borough's annual Memorial Day Parade. The day's activities began in front of the municipal building at 8 a.m. with represenatives of Fair Lawn veterans posts followed by a Fire Department ceremony. Then at 10:30 a.m., the parade began, proceeding from Pollitt Drive to Fair Lawn Avenue to River Road to Berdan Avenue and down the Avenue of the Heroes into Memorial Park. Col. Jack O'Neil conducted a special memorial program at the Circle of Honor to conclude the ceremony. -- Follow Fair Lawn Patch on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to receive our daily newsletter in your inbox each morning

Anyone who's attended a Fair Lawn council meeting or watched one on television has probably seen Rich Seibel. It's rare that a meeting or work session passes without Seibel publicly reminding the mayor and council to recognize the sacrifice of a service member who has fallen, to keep all military personnel and families in their thoughts or to fly borough flags at half-staff following an official proclamation.

"This flag is being donated by…

Does anyone know the year that Memorial Park, formerly known as the sand pit, was officially opened? My guess 1949 or 1950. At that time, I was a member of the Fair Lawn Boy's Club and about nine or ten years old. Bob Shechtman and I were the first flag bearers. We marched in the parade and made our way down Berdan Avenue proudly carrying the State and US flags. Zak's pictures brought back this … more ›
