The New Jersey Amusement Association’s first annual Swing and Soirée event recently honored four members as part of their NJAA Excellence Awards.
“It is with extreme honor that we had the privilege to recognize these individuals who work in varied parts of the amusement industry in different capacities within these member organizations,” the association said.
Those recognized (pictured below left to right) were Dino Fazio (Morey’s Piers), Bill Hettmann (Six Flags Great Adventure), Jen Quinn and Ali Omelio (both of Fantasy Island).
“We took two very long-standing events that have been held for over 60 years and combined them into one event,” the association explained of their Swing and Soirée. “The NJAA yearly dinner dance and the Fritz Rolle Legacy Golf Outing have rebranded and been renamed. They still have the same level of purpose but have expanded to be able to help us recognize the talent in our industry.”
