Cynthia H. Smith was honored with the John C. Bartlett, Jr. government ... Parks and Recreation's The Carousel of Music
Greetings from Freeholder John C. Bartlett, Jr. On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, I welcome you to the Summer 2014 issue of Out & About Ocean County, A Free Newsguide to Arts & Heritage Events. We have the opportunity to enjoy art and heritage events as well as the treasures of our beaches and natural resources. On April 3, 2014, the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission hosted the third annual Salute to Ocean County: A Celebration of the Arts & Heritage at Ocean County College. Student visual art and performing art were displayed from this year’s Ocean County Teen Arts Festival. Awards this year were highlighted by the presentation to Louis N. Riccio for the lifetime achievement in the arts and Mary Catherine Kennedy for the lifetime achievement award in history named in honor of Pauline S. Miller, Distinguished Ocean County Historian. Cynthia H. Smith was honored with the John C. Bartlett, Jr. government leadership award. Ocean County’s arts and history organizations provide a rich tapestry of programs, events, and classes for your summer enjoyment. Many of our towns and boroughs provide wonderful outdoor concerts including the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation’s The Carousel of Music Concert Series to be held at various locations throughout the summer. The pages of this 2014 summer issue are graced with art work received in response to a request from the Ocean County Artist Guild. Please take special note of our exciting palette of summer cultural opportunities in the event listings. Sincerely,
Freeholder John C. Bartlett, Jr.
