Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning
Quick Chek hosts an annual hot-air balloon festival in Readington, New Jersey, which runs the last weekend in July. An outdoor Quick Chek is set up with an actual deli and coffee counter, and during the weekend, visitors are able to attend the various activities that go on through the festival. Quick Chek's Balloon festival featured many exciting artists (2011) such as Meatloaf, Barenaked Ladies, and Abba in Concert. Meatloaf apparently collapsed shortly following his performance.

Famous quotes containing the words quick, jersey and/or festival:
“Where I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking. They are loaded with opinion, moral thoughts, quick evaluations, youthful hopes and cares and sorrows. Occasionally, they manage to report something in exquisite honesty and accuracy. That is why I have refrained from burning them.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey leaving a trail of ambiguous
picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
