Mayor Jack McNaboe offered the following comments, “The photos that were submitted were great. I had the privilege of seeing the photos following the first judging and was amazed at the range of subjects and artistry in many of the pictures. Our resident photographers have year-in-and-year-out submitted some really beautiful photos. I want to thank the Arts Council for again sponsoring the contest and especially our judges Linda Steele, Teresa Erlitz and Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen. I would also like to thank Dave Richardson and his Health Department staff for all their hard work in putting the contest together. Our Peoples Choice Award was named after Betty Forgie a MAC member and Photo Contest judge who passed away in 2017. Finally, I want to thank all of the participants and I and my fellow Township Committee members look forward to next year’s competition.”
