This year's event, hosted by Middletown Elks Lodge No. 2179, was held in celebration of Child Ambassador Dylan Cole Danville. Dylan is a mini Elk-in-training who is known for his admirable resilience and positivity, despite the challenges he has faced. Mayor Perry presented Dylan with a certificate on behalf of the Township Committee to remind him of how awesome he is. Way to go, Dylan!
