Borough Schedules Two More Vote Parties

Following a vote party at Casona this month, the borough has scheduled two more events aimed at pushing Collingswood to the top of Reader's Digest's We Hear You America Contest.

Following the borough's at earlier this month—which resulted in over 30,000 votes—two additional events have been scheduled to help make Collingswood a top town in Reader's Digest's We Hear You America contest.

On Wednesday, Feb. 1, restaurant will host another Get Out the Vote party, from 4 to 9 p.m. Voters will enjoy a complimentary buffet, and are reminded to bring their own laptop or other mobile device. Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer to the event.

And on Tuesday, Feb. 28, will host a townwide voting party from 3 until 9 p.m. Food and fun will ensue during this event, which will serve as the borough's final push for votes before the contest ends on March 1.
