Thank You West Milford!!!!
The Good Old Fashioned Community Barn Painting was a huge success thanks to our community pitching in to help out! It took more than 500 hours of volunteer time combined with generous contributions from the community to make it all happen! Because of all these efforts, a local landmark has been preserved and we all learned a little bit more about what "community" really means here in West Milford!
