Congratulations to the Town of Hammonton

I want to thank the town of Hammonton, NJ. and it’s people for putting on two great festivals back to back this year!!

Sign of the “Blueberry Capital of the World”!

The “blueberry” capital of the world, put on an excellent festival of blueberries.  It was pushing 100 degrees out that day, however, it didn’t keep the people away. It was a fabulous turn-out!  I purchased a homemade blueberry pie which was delicious and many other unique items and crafts.

Also, almost a week after, the longest running Italian festival in the country. Including, a week full of entertainment. This was a real treat! The sausage and peppers and wine from Tomasello’s winery were awesome.

The Italian Festival wasn’t as hot because it was during the night. There were blocks and blocks full of entertainment, food, amusements, and best of all… A beer garden.

Thanks again, Hammonton. I will see you next year!
