This year, AFS in New Jersey is hosting 31 exchange students from 18 countries.

Do they only have one place to buy tickets for the kids rides because they want to control how many tickets they sell so the rides do not get over crowded? Was going to get more, but the line was probably 40 people deep. Just went home instead   more ›
