Pushing Up the Daisies Festival to feature local bands, fundraiser to benefit Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery

Ten local music acts will band together at the Pushing Up the Daisies Festival benefiting the Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery.
Host and organizer Tony Susco - better known as ?Dancing Tony? - said he hopes the event will help the cemetery stay alive.
In April, cemetery officials announced that money was so tight that they weren?t able to pay an electricity bill. Unable to sell new plots or even touch a $50,000 grant from the Hudson County Open Space Trust Fund until it is matched, the cemetery relies on donations to survive.
.
Officials estimate that maintaining the six-acre cemetery, which was founded in 1828, costs $3,000 a month which includes utility payments for the land and caretaker?s house, which Susco said houses two veterans who work on the cemetery in lieu of rent.More!

What happened with their last Fundraiser? I know it was scheduled for the weekend before Halloween when we had the freak snow storm so I think it was cancelled? Hopefully they do more fundraisers in the summer - it's really a beautiful cemetary
