RED, WHITE & BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL July 1, 2012
Fans of New Jersey's Official State Fruit braved 95 degree temperatures to pay homage to the healthful comestible at the 26th
Annual Red, White & Blueberry Festival. The immediate Hammonton area was spared the effects of a brutal summer storm, which
knocked out power for thousands in Atlantic and Cumberland counties, so the Chamber felt fortunate that the festival went off
without a hitch.
Music, cars, crafters, kiddy rides, great food, pie eating contests, blueberry specialties of all kinds, including fresh blueberry
cannoli and gourmet pies and pops, plus almost 2,000,000 million blueberries brought thousands of berry fans to the Blueberry
Capital of the World. See you next year on June 30, 2013.
