    Good Morning,

    My name is Aly Rodriguez, and I am one of the managers here at Planet Fitness in Hackettstown. I am inquiring about your Okotberfest Festival on September 30th! We were wondering if there was any way we could work together to possibly set up a table at the festival to advertise our facility here in Hackettstown. Let us know if there is any other information/details you need from our end.

    Is there a way to get a list of all the shop vendors? I’d like to make some purchases but cannot buy from all the great vendors in one go!
