In honor of our 100th anniversary the Historical Society of Haddonfield will host the Centennial Fair — a day of family fun in the beautiful September sun! The fair will be held on the grounds of Greenfield Hall, 343 Kings Highway East from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 27.
Parking is on the street and the fair will be held on the beautifully landscaped grounds in the rear of the Hall. The festivities will include an abundance of food options from local vendors, including homemade ice cream from Sweet Pea, authentic Mexican from Jalapenos Grill, gluten free treats from Posh Pop Bakeshop, Indian cuisine from Cross Culture, and classic Italian from da Soli Trattoria Rustica.
From noon to 1:30 p.m. there will be games for kids and the Markeim Arts Center will offer an arts and craft competition for children between the ages of 7 and 9. At 1:30 p.m. the air will be filled with the happy sounds of the Haddonfield Pick Up band, playing all the old familiar favorites. At 2:30 p.m. the cast of Spelling Bee from the upcoming Haddonfield Plays & Players production will entertain with Broadway selections. And at 4:00 p.m. the graceful dancers of Dance Haddonfield will perform a medley of movement for your enjoyment. And throughout the afternoon there will be a carriage available for autumnal rides around Hopkins Pond for a minimal charge.
