At the Halloween show on October 9, Fred Corigliano sponsored a 4 ft. trophy and a $500 cash prize to the best Halloween decorations. This was in memory of Dave Corigliano, Fred's brother, who always enjoyed our Halloween festivities. Fred, and Dave's wife Carolyn, chose a display by Allen Woodcock and the Legendary Car Club. After handing the cash prize to Allen, Allen then donated it directly to Venus Majeski from New Jersey Institute of Disabilities. Fred then matched the $500 donation to NJID. Below are the photos from "the best display".
