Any parents with business on Thursday, April 27th in Philadelphia or relatives that live near Camden NJ ...we are in need of someone to secure our tent spot at the Cooper River in Camden on Thursday evening at 6:00. Tent spots are first come first served and will take just a short time to stake off. If anyone is in the area and available to mark the tent for Ridgewood Crew please let Katie (
