CAMDEN, N.J. -- Backgrounding the Camden County Historical Society's Family Fun Day events with traditional music played on traditional instruments were the Sugar Sand Ramblers (above, left) of Medford. Playing to a different beat throughout the day was Continental Army drummer re-enactor Timothy Logue, 14, of Marlton, N.J., was part of the Continental Militia training demonstration.

	A favorite Family Fun Day stop was Pomona Hall's large open-hearth kitchen. There, cook Cheryl McClain explained the workings of the 18th-century operation and invited visitors to cut out their own donuts (above, left), which she then fried in the traditional manner over a pile of glowing coals in the hearth. Visitors also got to eat the finished donuts and donut holes (above, right). Also see larger photo

	Finley, mascot of the Camden Riversharks baseball team, was on hand to greet Zaire Cooley, left, and Dejon Sullivan, both eight years old. Docent and Society director of education Charla Lewis looks on. Meanwhile, the Historical Society's Mary Cooper Gardeners encouraged youngsters to learn about and plant the same kinds of 18th-century kitchen plants (above, right) the Cooper family used in 1788.

	Back for a second year was Maryellen Flynn, a retired Willingboro, N.J., school teacher who is also one of the region's top authorities on native Lenape culture. She displayed a collection of skins of those animals most important to the Lenape, Including otter, bobcat, bear and wolf.
