31SWEDESBORO — Swedesboro Woolwich Day 2014 will be held on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., bringing back a few favorites and adding some new attractions.
The festivities will follow the 8th Annual 5k Dragon Run, which benefits the Nathaniel Boerlin Scholarship Fund. Details and registration information for the race can be found at www.NateRocksHeaven.org. The winners of the run are announced at the opening of the event at the main stage at 10 a.m.
The Car Show returns again this year and exhibitors will showcase antique cars ranging from the 1950’s through the muscle car era. If you have a car you want to enter in the show, contact Jim @ swcarshow@gmail.com or call him at 856-278-5057.
Planning the event is under way but we need help on a few committees – primarily the Vendor/Crafter Committee. That committee reviews booth applications and helps place the booths on the street. If interested to help on any committee, please e-mail swedesboroday@gmail.com.
As always, this is a rain or shine event. The planning committee always changes some sponsored activities but continues to provide favorite items. New for 2014: High Striker – an old time carnival game to test your strength; 24’ Rock Wall designed and engineered with professional safety will be in Schoener’s lot; and Stilt Walker will be overseeing the street for four hours to help direct attendees to various areas.
Returning will be the Kingsway Soccer Kick and Score, moving to St. Clare of Assisi lot; the Fun Bus will be near the Main Stage from 11 – 2:30; the Enchanted Face & Body Artists will paint faces for 4 hrs at the Kids Zone Stage at the Bump out; two moon bounces will be at the Franklin St. lot and Balloon Artists and Caricaturist will be near sponsored booths on King Highway.
