Work session canceled Due to a conflict with the annual League of Municipali- O’Hara to exhibit work Letters to the Editor (continued from page 18) “Wicked” by SYRT, and a performance by The Dancer’s Edge. Kids enjoyed balloon making, face painting, a game tent sponsored by the Allendale Community for Mature Living, clowns, free activities sponsored by community groups, a giant bounce house, and an obstacle course. Everyone loved the great food served by AB&G, Bernie’s Bagels, Darla’s Porch, and Allendale Eats. The Car Show included 65 cars, with nine exotics, and a 1934 Rolls Royce that won a $500 gift certificate for “Best in Show.” Allendale is well-known as an old fashioned, wonderful town with great school district. We also maintain a charming downtown shopping district that many do not know about, so our Festival Day and Car Show allow us to showcase our best assets. This annual event is a “thank you” to our community for its patronage of our member businesses throughout the year. We have access to so much, including financial services, early childhood schooling, mortgage financing, dental care, pool care, and adult housing and care, located right here in our town.

Dan Zettler Allendale Chamber of Commerce An exhibit of photographs by Ho-Ho-Kus resident Ed O’Hara is currently on display at the Old Tappan Public Library, located at 56 Russell Avenue in Old Tappan. The exhibit, which includes images of sporting events, scenery, nature, and other miscellaneous subjects, will be on display through Nov. 18. O’Hara’s interest in photography was ignited when his children were playing team sports, and he began to photograph them and their teammates during their games. O’Hara enjoys photographing all kinds of sports, wildlife, landscapes, and sunsets. Each year, he takes trips to Maryland and upstate New York to photograph bald eagles and the fall foliage. His camera is always with him and he often stops to photograph anything catches his eye. O’Hara is a full-time employee of an electronics firm.
