Last night was a wonderful evening in the Township of Washington! We had ideal weather under the stars for the annual summer concert at Memorial Field. By looking at the fantastic turnout, I can confidently say it was a tremendous success.
Super Trans Am returned for an encore performance of its Super ’70s Rock Show, keeping the crowd entertained all evening.

Special thanks to Bethany Community Center for providing guest parking and to Hold My Knots and Uncle Louie G's Italian Ice & Ice Cream Park Ridge NJ for serving delicious food and treats. I also extend my sincere appreciation to Public Affairs Director Sasha Lopez for organizing another outstanding community event; Councilwoman Daisy Velez for joining us; and our DPW employees, Washington Township Police, and members of the Township of Washington Volunteer Ambulance Corps for helping everything run smoothly and keeping everyone safe.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a memorable summer evening!
