  Heavily promoted in bulletins, on the Borough website (www.bellmawr.com) as well as word-of-mouth, the event, which will be an annual function, featured something for all ages, such as rides, games, pumpkin and face painting for children, as well as a paintball booth for older youth.

  Dozens of food and craft vendors carpeted the outfield fences of the Bell Road and Garden State ball fields, including a classic and custom car show which featured a 1926 Ford Model T, as well as a fully restored fire truck, owned by Bellmawr’s Paul Jr. and Frank Sr. Sandrock.

  Among the vendors on hand was Len Landi of the 65 year-old Bellmawr Tigers, who are currently holding basketball registrations,  Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rec Centre November 12.

  Although there were several classic and custom cars to view (including a 1986 Mitsubishi Eclipse with gull wing doors), the most talked about ride was disguised as a food vendor.

  Hogs and Hot Dogs, a converted Harley-Davidson tricycle with a hot dog cart built onto the rear, was busy all day selling its $2 fare.

  Owners explained that the bike is fitted with a special reverse gear, which aids in positioning at events.

  Musical and dance groups played and performed throughout the seven hour festival, complete with a fully stocked beer garden.

  Organizers stated next year’s event is already in the works, and may include a barbecue contest and chili cook-off.
