Best Marching Unit: First place, Woodbine Elementary School Marching Band, Second place: Boy Scout Troop 77.
Best Appearing Fire Company: First place: Dennisville; Second: Leesburg

“The light snowfall made the evening even more festive and again I noted that the number of participants has continued to increase, and am especially glad to welcome the newly reformed Boy Scout Troop 77,” noted Mayor Pikolycky. “. I was disappointed that additional snowfall predictions caused the Cape May County Library to cancel “The Joyful Bell Ringers” at our Woodbine Branch the and look forward to their being part of our festivities again next year. And I thank Public Works for all their preparations for this event.”
