An outdoor Quick Chek is set up with an actual deli and coffee counter, and during the weekend, visitors are able to attend the various activities that go on through the festival. Quick Chek's Balloon festival featured many exciting artists (2011) such as Meatloaf, Barenaked Ladies, and Abba in Concert. Meatloaf apparently collapsed shortly following his performance.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall,”
