Middletown Township celebrates Fourth of July parade winners with trophy presentation

The Middletown Township Board of Supervisors convened on September 7, 2022, to address various community matters and celebrate local achievements. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call confirming the presence of township officials, including Township Manager Tully Cools and Township Solicitor Esposito.

During the meeting, several announcements were made. The next Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for September 19, 2022, at 7 PM. Two upcoming community events were highlighted: a beer garden at Stiers Orchard on September 10, 2022, from noon to 5 PM, and a litter cleanup at Walter Miller Elementary School on September 17, 2022, from 9 AM to 11 AM.

A significant highlight of the meeting was the trophy presentation for the Middletown Township Fourth of July parade. Director of Park and Recreation, Paul Caper, expressed excitement over the community's return to the parade after a hiatus since 2019. He presented the Middletown Cup, awarded to the parade's fan favorite, to the 2022 winners, the Middletown Avengers, who were joined by the 2019 winners, McHale's Running Toilet. Caper noted the positive impact of the trophy on local business, attributing significant sales to the visibility of the award.

Following the trophy presentation, the meeting opened the floor for public comments on non-agenda items, but no comments were made. The Board then moved on to the consent agenda items, continuing with the meeting's structured agenda.

Overall, the meeting underscored community engagement and recognition of local achievements, setting a positive tone for future township activities.
