The story follows a husband and wife, Brick and Maggie Pollitt, and exposes the raw and vulnerable aspects to their marriage. Among a complicated marriage, illness plagues the family, leaving uncertainty over who will inherit the family’s cotton plantation.
Haddonfield Human Relations Committee to host meeting on gun violence
The Haddonfield Human Relations Committee invites residents to delve into some of the most controversial and difficult topics year after year. On May 31, the community will have the chance to engage with a panel of experts on this year’s hot topic, gun violence. “It seems like gun violence awareness has been dominating our news recently, and we don’t think it is a topic or issue that should fade away,” event chairman Jonathan Maxson said.
Haddonfield Farmers Market to take place on May 19
On Saturday, May 19, local residents can expect to see an array of colorful, Jersey-grown food items while listening to unique music from various artists in Kings Court for the annual Haddonfield Farmers Market. For 11 years, market manager Ralph Ciallella has helped manage and organize the market and says it is much more than just a place to pick up fresh produce. “I have friends that come and stay for two hours and watch the music, they sit at the table and have their breakfast or lunch and hang out,” Ciallella said. “If you are born and raised here and you move back and you walk around town and come to the market you will see people you have not seen in 20 or 30 years.”
