Winners from “South Jersey’s Got Talent” contest sponsored by South Jersey Magazine kicked off a cool First Friday in Haddonfield with performances by Studio Trip and Brett Speesler.

Studio Trip, comprised of Joe Castiglia, Eric McKelvie, Will McCorry and Rob Biello received first place honors in the magazine's "under 18 category". Girls danced around the gazebo during the band’s performance. 

Brett Speesler, the winner in the "over 18 category", performed for the crowd at Kings Court. Speesler announced he has a new CD and will perform at First Night Haddonfield on New Year’s Eve.

The cool weather may have been responsible for the sparse crowd last night. Artists and performers tried their best to stay warm while promoting their crafts along Kings Highway.

Z's Treasures provided belly dancing performances
Belly dancing demonstrations were held on Mechanic Street.

Belly Dancing 101

One of the highlights of First Friday was a belly dancing performance and demonstration at Z’s Treasures on Mechanic Street. A few men volunteered to learn the basics of belly dancing from Zeynep, a professional dancer and instructor.

Other activities in town included performances from Plays and Players, jewelry displays, photography, drawings, and additional musical groups along Tanner Street and Lantern Lane. More photos can be found on the slide show.

Ready for Christmas?

The Haddonfield streetscape is rapidly changing as most storeowners removed their Halloween decorations in preparation for the upcoming Christmas season.

Every Friday in December will have holiday musicians, carolers, carriage rides and candlelight shopping for all to enjoy as Haddonfield continues to be the best holiday shopping destination in South Jersey.

For more information about upcoming events in Haddonfield, stop by the Information Center located in Kings Court or visit their website.
