On September 14, 2024, the Friends of New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center hosted their annual Heritage Bus Festival, located at the St. Veronica’s Church in Howell NJ. The event lasted between 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM with all buses leaving at 2:30 PM heading back to their respective locations. This was the first time I went to this event and I really enjoyed it.
