This year, the civic association posthumously honored Wanetta English as the parade’s Grand Marshal. English was a long-time Erlton resident who passed away earlier this year. English’s family and friends were featured in the parade.

Following the parade, residents had the chance to enjoy music from the Quaker City String Band, enjoy refreshments and participate in a variety of activities leading up to the Haddonfield fireworks later that night.
