("2013 Top Towns" ), ''South Jersey Magazine'', May 2013. Accessed September 1, 2013. "It’s no wonder Wenonah is known for its abundance of family-friendly events, such as its Fourth of July parade—once named one of the top 10 small-town parades in the country. It’s an event that pulls out all the stops, where the whole world outside of Wenonah ceases to exist for that one day."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wenonah, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
