“Proper care will extend the life of your lawn mower and keep it running safely and smoothly all summer long,” said Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios.
Freeholder Kenneth Armwood, chairman of the Business Development and Education Committee said, “I think many residents will find this workshop to be very useful and it will make caring for their lawns and equipment much easier.”
