New Egypt Day on May 15 was a huge success due to many people who worked together for the benefit of the community. Main Street New Egypt would like to thank the people and organizations that contributed to another great day in New Egypt.
Many thanks to Mayor Ron Dancer and the Township Committee, the New Egypt police, fire, first aid and emergency management departments.
For help during the planning stages of the festival, thanks to Danielle Peacock, Dorothy Hendrickson and Nancy Hendrickson for their assistance. Thanks to Dave Rogers and Tim for getting Oakford Lake Park ready for the festival, and for cleaning up afterward. Many thanks to Charlie Bauer for crossing everyone safely, and to George Lee for his assistance.
Volunteers from the New Egypt High School Interact Club and from the Teen Advisory Board at the Ocean County Library are truly the behind-the-scenes magic of the festival. They are willing to help with anything and everything that needs to be done that day. These teenage volunteers have proven to be an invaluable part of the day, and we owe them many, many thanks.
The Presbyterian Church played a huge part in the day’s success by making their church grounds available to the community for the day. It was the perfect setting for the festival … thank you.
For donations, assistance and financial support we warmly thank Dave Galloway, Pat Hlubick, Big Woods Nursery, Bomar Printing, Sherri Lotito, Donny’s Potties, Liberty Lake Day Camp, Jay Sweet’s Rock Workshop, William Lewis and New Egypt Agway.
A warm thank you to the many vendors, crafters and organizations who participated.
And, of course, thanks to all of you who came out and supported the event. We hope you enjoyed the day. If you have any comments you would like to share, or if you would like to participate in our next festival, the Spooktacular Fall Fest on Halloween, Oct. 31, send an email to newegyptevents@verizon. net or call 609-758-7461.
