This Week in New Jersey’s Heartland – May 31
New Jersey’s Heartland kicked off the start of Summer at the South Jersey Transportation Authority’s official Kick Off on May 27th for “100 Days of Summer.”
NJ Heartlanders were at the Farley Service Plaza on the AC Expressway as thousands of holiday revelers stopped for free food and drinks and a shot at the NJ Heartland’s “Pick Your Prize” wheel on their way to the Shore.
Phyllis Lacca, President of Masterpiece Advertising, helps a Heartland visitor spin the “Pick Your Prize” wheel.
