ESSEX FELLS, NJ — Postmaster Sharon Topchev had some help decorating her lobby for the holidays this year.  The Burke family from Essex Fells recently offered to display a small replica of the Essex Fells Post Office built from gingerbread in Postmaster Topchev’s lobby at 297 Runnymede Rd.  The Burkes created and entered the Essex Fells gingerbread Post Office into a gingerbread house competition.

“The Burkes’ gingerbread Post Office was an amazing addition to our holiday decorations,” said Essex Fells Postmaster Sharon Topchev.  “Our customers and our employees certainly loved the gingerbread Post Office,” she added. “It helped raise everyone’s holiday spirits,” concluded the Essex Fells Postmaster.”
