“Our Fall Festival is a fun-filled family event,” says Haddon Township Mayor Randall Teague. “We’re not ready to let the summer vibes slip away just yet. Before we get into chilly weather activities, come join us for one last hurrah with carnival rides for the kids, a beer garden for the grown ups, and dancing to live music for everyone!”
