A special thank you to all of the organizers of the event and the Upper Saddle River Police, Fire, and EMS for taking the time this Thanksgiving morning to make sure everyone is safe.” 

Gottheimer was joined by Upper Saddle River Acting Mayor and Council President Jonathan Ditkoff, Upper Saddle River Recreation Director Ed Gartner, first responders, and nearly 2,000 North Jersey residents.
