Photo Gallery: Temple Enjoys Picnic and Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt promotes downtown Westfield.

Members of Temple Emanu-El headed to Tamaques Park Sunday to enjoy a day of food, fun and fellowship during the Temple men's club annual picnic.

The pinic also severed as the conclusion of the Temple LINKS' group family scavenger hunt. Consisting of teams with youth and adults, the group raced through town, starting at the Temple  on East Broad Street and ending at Tamaques Park looking to answer various questions around town. This included how many elementary schools are named after presidents, the most popular cupcake at Crumbs and the number of baseball fields at Tamaques.

Along the way tems also needed to gather the signatures of two Temple employees, pick up a balloon from Castle Bootery and get a oicture with a police office. Hunt organizers said part of the picnic was designed to promote the downtown business district.
