Festival time in Hammonton

This afternoon’s commute home had me walking through the Our Lady of Mt Carmel festival procession through Hammonton. Here’s a little while-walking video montage.

Rare video of the old Amatol/Atlantic City Racetrack outside Hammonton

Hard to believe, but a huge racetrack of international renown once sat on Moss Mill Road just east of Hammonton, NJ. The site is now indistinguishable forrest, with a typical Pine Barren sand trail that follows the old oval. I haven’t explored it yet but hope to soon. Just Google for Amatol Raceway and you’ll find lots of pictures and accounts.

Impromput Hammonton area Friends worship

Martin Kelley — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:13:34 +0000

My F/friend Raye Hodgson is taking a train from Connecticut to South Jersey next week for a visit, and locals and would-be visitors are invited to my house for some worship! Raye’s involved with Ohio Conservative and New England Friends and seems to be doing a cool sustainable agriculture project these days (which I didn’t know except for Google!)

It’s next Thursday, the 19th at 7:30pm in Hammonton. If you want to join but don’t have my address just send me an email and I’ll provide details. There’s also a Facebook event listing for this. If enough people are interested we can have more occasional Conservative/Convergent/Emergent Quakerly worship in this part of South Jersey! If you can’t make it but are intrigued by the idea, let me know and I’ll keep you in the loop.

UPDATE: The worship went well, about half a dozen people showed up. If you want to be alerted to any follow-up worship opportunities in the Hammonton area send me an email and I’ll add you to my list.
