Co-chairs of the HATCH (Haddonfield Acts To Create Hadrosaurus) Committee Jan Twitchell and Beverly Aldeghi survey the crowd from the stage. Among the more than 200 engraved pavers put down in Lantern Lane is one from their Garden Club.

Peering down from ten feet in the air, Hadrosaurus foulkii now permanently gazes out on Kings Highway

In a return performance after their debut appearance at April's Dino Day, the HATCH miniature dinosaur corps delighted camera-carrying members of the crowd (larger photo). A contingent of the Foulke family, the descendants of William Parker Foulke who discovered the fossil near Maple Avenue, was on hand for the day.
