HRMC Will Bring New Surprises as Sponsor of Annual Spring Festival

Hackettstown Regional Medical Center will be present in a big way as one of the main sponsors of the annual Hackettstown Spring Festival, to be held May 4th, 5th and 6th on the fields behind Hatchery Hill School and Centenary College in Hackettstown.

In addition to the hospital's traditional tent full of wellness information, giveaways and free healthy snacks like their famous vegetarian chili, cornbread and freshly popped popcorn, an exciting new addition this year will be a visit from former NY Giants running backs Joe Morris and Rodney Hampton!  The pair will be on hand on Saturday afternoon to sign autographs and pose for photos with fans as guests of HRMC.  Morris is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and Hampton is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.  Those who stop by will receive a complimentary HRMC football for the players to sign, while supplies last.
