NEWS 12 NEW JERSEY COMES TO BOTANY

On Friday July 6th, News 12 New Jersey did a live broadcast from Sullivan Square, the first stop of new program call "On the Road in NJ". They spent the day through out Clifton recording and finished up in Botany doing Live interviews with Residents and Business Owners. Everyone who was able to be there had a great time and got autographed pictures from the anchor and meteorologist who did live weather reports. The Botany Village Merchants Association passed out free Italian Ice which was very refreshing on such a hot day. Our Scheduled Friday Night Concert went off without a hitch just a little later than usual. CHBD would like to Thank News 12 New Jersey for coming to Botany, Mayor Jim Anzaldi who worked with them in choosing Botany, and Special Thanks to American Clean and Safe (ACS) our hired security company and one of their owner Greg Mayo who went above and beyond to help out that day. Greg worked 13 hours without charging CHBD a penny.
