Follow on Google News | Judges Find Making A Decision No Roll In The HaySouthern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce Scare crows leave a great impression on Ocean County Public Affairs Officials
By: Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce The winner for the business category is Sea Crest Village in Little Egg Harbor with their Nurse pushing her patient in a wheel chair, placed prominently in front of their business sign. The non profit winner is The Soroptimists of Long Beach Island which was displayed at Tropics Too in Long Beach Township. Their gardener scarecrow was proudly displaying Soroptimist clothing while “digging for new members” in a garden full of the fruits of the group’s labor, all labeled with their contributions to the community. “We had an extraordinarily difficult time making a decision. So many stories were told so well and so creatively - works of art to behold. With a criteria of telling the story of the business, how does one judge an impressive display that would be at home in a department store front window against another more simple display that better tells the story of the business or organization? “All the scarecrows were terrific and the judges did have a very hard time declaring winners.” said Lori Pepenella, Destination Marketing Director “Due to the amount of entries, we spoke with the judges about presenting blue ribbons to a number of Honorable Mentions they felt deserved recognition.” G.
