Sean Marks and Michael McBride went on to receive third place in the Talent Show at the New Jersey State Fair. The Commission once again wanted to thank Nancy Van Horn for her efforts in coordinating this event.

Caldwell Landscaping, Sussex County Lock & Safe, Sussex Bike & Sport Shop, Route 23 Farmers Market, Quiznos-Sussex, New Balance North Jersey, Donna Spinetta Real Estate Consultants, Bakers Pharmacy, Bagel Station-Sparta are some of the sponsors this year. The sponsors have been very generous. The entry forms are beginning to come in. The race is set to go.
