EVENTS EVENTS EVENTS What’s happening in Atlantic, Cumberland, and Cape May Counties
Thanks to the thousands that attended the 7th South Jersey Pumpkin Show festival held on October 9-10, hosted by the Atlantic County Fairground, S. Egg Harbor. Hundreds of sun soaked mums and pumpkins by the bins, greeted families from as far as New York, Florida, Ohio and Maryland. The weather was perfect and families stayed all day. Kathryn and Beau Wright, along with family members that traveled 547 miles from Ohio and flew in from Florida worked around the clock to make the show worth visiting. The Atlantic County Fair Association operated a food booth and received over $3,000 from the admission proceeds. Kathryn Wright, event creator, lost her 15 year old son back in May of this year from an ATV accident. Her son was an October child and his family celebrated his life quietly at the festival. The Gazette of Atlantic County held a coin toss and donated the collection to the Scott Bailey Trust. Proceeds of the Pumpkin Show will go toward a scholarship fund that will be setup this coming year in Scott’s memory. The organizers of the event want to thank the thousands that attended, the vendors, the sponsors and The Atlantic County Fair Association for your support.
