| Well here's a new and novel way to get into the holiday spirit - a home decoration contest waged between three cities. In what's sure to be a bare-knuckled, knock-down, drag-out fight to have the most kilowatt-hours spent on tiny lights and automated reindeer, the cities of Newark, Jersey City and Roslle are currently embroiled in a friendly competition that just happens to have a great prize: $3,000 for the winning city's library, donated in equal parts by the event's sponsors - Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop, Newark Councilman Anibal Ramos and Roselle Mayor Jamel Holley.
Not to be a Grinch and all, but isn't it kind of sad that library systems across New Jersey are struggling just to keep their branches open? Here's a story about problems they're having in Montclair; here's one about an effort to save an historic library in Bridgeton; and so on.
Ok, ok - back to the fun. Go to this Facebook page, where you can check out all the photos already uploaded by competing citizens - and if you're a resident of one of the participating cities, you can upload your own photos and help boost the chances that your town will win. |
