| The Woodstown High School choirs hosted the annual Pitch Perfect Pasta Night fundraiser and sang some great tunes last Saturday! |
Hear ye, hear ye! O yez, o yez!
E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!
EAGLES: How about that big Super Bowl win Sunday night? We were all due for a bit of good news this year. Mayor Joe Hiles even renamed Woodstown as "BIRDTOWN" for the day!
As the Town Crier of Birdtown, it was a truly great evening nervously snacking during the first half of the game, trying to make sense of the halftime show, and cautiously celebrating until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter when it became evident Philadelphia would take home that silver trophy.

ANNIVERSARY: Thank you, all, for reading the Woodstown Crier. On Feb. 9, I celebrated the one year anniversary of this news website. We've lost our newspapers in this region but still have a great need for news reporting. It is my sincere hope to keep this going as long as I can.
The first article I wrote on the Woodstown Crier was a tribute to the Salem County Town Crier Emeritus Ron LeHew, a local artist, storyteller, and larger-than-life legend.
COMMUNITY
