BRIDGETON, N.J. – The Urban Enterprise Zone in Bridgeton and KYMO (Keeping Young Minds Occupied) put together an event on June 21 called Breaking Every Chain in honor of Juneteenth.
Entrepreneurs in Cumberland County were invited to engage with the community and local businesses like Lolita’s Bar and Lounge along with Pops Chicken Box who took full advantage of the opportunity to serve the people.
Interviews were being conducted by Millie Madness under the gazebo directly next to vendors tables like Thytira Benjamin who runs Gifts from Within where she makes crafts from home with most of them on display.
The children also were catered with a huge bounce unit set up and also Games on The Go had their video game truck for the kids.
