A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome to the first edition of The Hammontonian , a new magazine from The Hammonton Gazette . For 25 years , readers have relied on The Gazette to bring quality news writing , compelling photos and informed opinion pieces . Now we are bringing you a magazine . The Hammontonian celebrates all the amazing things about life in Hammonton . With each edition , we plan to have certain regular feature areas and seasonal topics . There is truly something for everyone and every viewpoint . This project is the result of excellent teamwork . Each fulltime staff member contributed to this magazine . Publisher Gabriel Donio , Sports Editor Dan Russoman , Staff Writer and Copy Editor Kristin Guglietti and Staff Writer Dillon Siddiqi all wrote articles and took pictures . We also worked with local photographer Jenn Bailey and cover model and “ Gazette In Fashion ” host Franki Rudnesky as well as Hammontonians Danica Rudnesky , Carter , Mia and Chloe Bailey and Brayden Attard . This publication is truly a product of Hammonton . This keepsake first edition will take you on a tour through the best Hammonton has to offer : A new blueberry product , a local look at the Chinese New Year , cooking with a popular piano teacher , rival relatives and so much more .
