Hoop it up
Thursday, March 24, 2011
It's March Madness--a time when the world rallies around some of the best action in college sports. Lucky for us, the NCAA has brought its March show to Newark for several days of fist-pumping basketball. While it's probably too late to score any game tickets, fans can rejoice over the GoNewark Hoopfest which takes place this weekend, March 24th through 27th at the Prudential Center. Suzy plans to take her boys to one of the FanFest events, a fun, interactive day of b-ball themed activities and more.
