On September 24, 2017 in celebration of the Town of Kearny’s 150th anniversary, the Junior Woman’s Club of Arlington sponsored a photography contest honoring our Town’s History. The two categories were “Kearnyscapes” and “What Community Means to Me”. Congratulations to all of the contestants and winners of the Kearny 150 Sesquicentennial Photography Contest. The reception was held at the historic Firehouse at 72 Halstead Street. Mayor Alberto Santos, Carol Jean Gaunt Doyle, Chief George Harris (Ret.), Barbara Goldberg, and Desiree Mills served as contest judges. The winning photos are on display in the Kearny Main Library.
