Commissioners announce winners of the
Snowplow Naming Contest

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is excited to announce the winners of the first Snowplow Naming Contest are “Snow Force 1” submitted by Viego Vieira of Amerigo A. Anastasia Elementary in Long Branch and “Fast & The Flurrious” submitted by Kaden Felder of Woodrow Wilson School in Neptune City.

“I would like to congratulate Viego and Kaden on their winning submissions to our Snowplow Naming Contest,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “We received hundreds of submissions from schools all across Monmouth County and we couldn’t choose just one winner, so we decided to name two snowplows this year.”

Director Arnone made a surprise visit to Amerigo A. Anastasia Elementary and Woodrow Wilson School to present Viego and Kaden with Certificates of Recognition on behalf of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners and the students helped unveil the snowplows with the winning names on them.

“I want to also thank all the students, teachers and school districts throughout Monmouth County who participated in our contest,” said Director Arnone. “If we have snow this year, make sure to keep an eye out on the roads for ‘Snow Force 1’ and ‘Fast & The Flurrious!’”
