2019 Asbury Park Carousel Awards
The Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Gala at Convention Hall
I was so honored to be a part of the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce’s annual Carousel Awards gala at Convention Hall. An amazing way to kick off the summer season by honoring those organizations and individuals who have made a deep commitment to the city we know and love. Organized and hosted by the amazing Sylvia Sylvia, Jennifer Rae Stine, and Matthew Whelan the night was a stunning success. A huge thank you to Hot Sand AP for designing this year’s beautiful awards and sponsors Madison Marquette, iStar, The Asbury Rennisance, NJ Natural Gas, Coastal Habitat for Humanity for the Centerpieces, the Asbury Park Press Ad Journal, and Vin Gopal for sponsoring the cocktail hour music by A Pair of Shoez. Frungillo Caterers provided delicious food, Asbury Audio created the beautiful lighting and sound, Syracuse Signs helped with signage and Central Jersey Trucking brought the beautiful Carousel Horses. A lively performance by Des & The Swagmatics closed the night. Congratulations of all of the recipients!
