AAHA Accredited, Fear Free Certified Professionals 

Belle Mead Animal Hospital

Since 1979, the Belle Mead Animal Hospital (BMAH) has been providing client focused and patient centered care for companion animals in Belle Mead, Hillsborough, Blawenburg, Hopewell, Skillman, Princeton and all the surrounding areas we have been serving for the past 30 years. We’re proud to be accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), a recognition earned by only 12 to 15 percent of veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada. This certification reflects our commitment to over 900 rigorous standards of care. What truly sets us apart is our team. Every member of our staff is Fear Free Certified. Unlike most practices that may have only one or two certified team members, we believe every pet deserves a fully trained support system. We know how to recognize fear, listen to pets, and respond with empathy. Pets have the right to be scared and the right to say no, and we are trained to honor that. Our practice continues to grow and evolve, but our mission remains the same: to provide exceptional care in a compassionate, family-like environment focused on wellness and education.

Warren Community College is conveniently located on Route 57, just minutes from Routes 31, 22, and 78, and less than 1.5 hours from both Philadelphia and New York City.
Hot air balloons will take off each evening between 5:15–6:00 p.m. (weather permitting). Limited full-flight hot air balloon rides are available. Morning full flights have been added this year at 6:30 a.m., prior to the festival opening at 1 p.m. Many visitors come from out of town to take rides and are pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of Warren County, New Jersey. This gives riders an opportunity to explore the area and all it offers before returning later in the day for the festivities.
Tethered rides (short up-and-down flights) are also available each day for $30 per adult and $20 for youth ages 4–12. Purchase your tethered ride tickets at the Balloon Ride/Info booth. 
Gates open at 1 p.m., and the festivities run until 8:30 p.m. each evening. Enjoy a variety of food trucks, vendors, children’s entertainment and games, live bands and a DJ, tethered rides, and of course the mass balloon launch.

A variety of professions utilize Unmanned Systems technology for efficiency, and you could be at the forefront of this fast-growing field. Be sure to drop by the College’s WarrenUAS tent—they can answer all your questions.
There will be a variety of games, some of which are free. Game tickets are $5 each, and some games may require more than one ticket.

Kids can also pick up their sound-activated glow bracelets so they can sync with the glow music.

No crystal ball. Just clarity.
Specializing in real-life Happily Ever Afters, sessions with Shannon are intuitive, heart-centered, and woven in joy. Unlike psychic readings that focus on predicting fixed outcomes, these sessions open space for healing and more joy in your life—whether you’re seeking greater love in relationships, clarity in career and purpose, peace in health and well-being, or guidance for the next step in your journey.
Each session is unique and may include:
✨ Soul-centered guidance and inspiration for your path ✨ Intuitive insight into patterns and emerging possibilities in your life ✨ Energy clearing and heart-healing for release and peace ✨ Support in letting go of what no longer serves you ✨ Encouragement for wishes, dreams, and new beginnings ✨ Joy-filled awakenings and upshifts into higher resonance
Here, you are invited to step into clarity, peace, and joy in ways that touch every part of your life. A session may help you release burdens you’ve carried too long, notice new possibilities you hadn’t seen before, reconnect with what is sacred, or simply feel lighter and more at ease in where you are now.
Each session leaves you with guidance, encouragement, and inspiration — and with the sense that dreams can unfold in real life, miracles are possible, and your very own Happily Ever After may be nearer than you've imagined.
What to Know: All sessions with Shannon are in Divine timing; always free (no costs, no strings); and are complementary with all belief systems (secular or nonsecular) and all paths of life.
About Shannon
Shannon is a mystic, master of sciences, interfaith minister, and founder of Joy Alchemy™. She specializes in real-life Happily Ever Afters, carrying a rare fusion of mystic depth, scientific clarity, and compassion in her work.
Whether in a one-on-one session, a group circle, or a community class, Shannon walks beside others as they discover peace, clarity, miracles, and joy in their own lives.
