I heard this was a fabulous success...over 240 in attendance and $13,000 raised by the PAE PTO. Kudos to all those who worked so hard to make this event what it is today. This has been a culmination of over 5 years worth of hard work to make this an event that folks from out of town come to Freehold Borough to attend.
