Greetings! I have been searching everywhere for pictures of Camden County Music Fair. As a member of the Cosmic Camden Crew, the peeps who crewed or other wise worked there, I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can provide picture of the now defunct Camden County Music Fair.
The Arcadia Publishing hometown series edition of Cherry Hill features a photo of the Camden County Music Fair. The photo shows a small sign that touts upcoming acts- soon to appear were The Turtles & The Spencer Davis Group. My parents saw either Duke Ellington or Count Basie there as well....😎
Taylor the narrator for this program your grandfather John Raleigh was a staff announcer for WFIL TV in the early days of tv from the 1950s till 1971 when he retired or left after channel 6 was sold to cap cities and became WPVI TV and dropped most staff announcers except for Paul Norton. he also worked at WFIL RADIO both am and FM as an announcer newscaster host during that time too and all were owned by Triangle Publication which also owned tv guide at one time.
It no longer exists as an Elementary School as explained in the following excerpt. "Shermark Partnership, is completing its own conversion: that of the former Hinchman Elementary School in Cherry Hill into the 150-bed Cherry Hill Convalescent Center. The company bought the school on Chapel Avenue for $935,000 and has spent $4 million more on renovations. In the process, classrooms have become double bedrooms and the multipurpose room has been developed into a kitchen and dining room. An outdoor tot lot, picnic grove and walking trails have been retained, though. We're probably the only nursing home in the state of New Jersey with a stage, Scherfel laughed."
