HAMMONTON — Former area resident
Kellyanne Conway will return home Saturday to lead the Hammonton Fire
Department Christmas Parade as its grand marshal.
“We
are thrilled that Kellyanne was able to take the time to come back home
and join us for such a special event. We are so proud of the good work
she is doing with the president-elect and look forward to presenting her
with a key to the town of Hammonton," Councilman Mickey Pullia said.
Conway
served as campaign manager for President-elect Donald J. Trump and was
the first woman to successfully manage a U.S. presidential campaign.
Conway attended St. Joseph’s School in
Hammonton and worked at Indian Brand Blueberry Farms during the summers
before leaving for Washington, D.C. for college and law school.
Pullia, a 30-year member of the Hammonton Volunteer Fire Department, led the local effort to coordinate Conway's visit.
"We had been speaking back and forth with the family and she graciously
accepted our invitation to be in the parade," Pullia said. "We couldn't
be more proud of her. She's a role model for young girls everywhere -
especially my two daughters."
Pullia added that the Hammonton Police Department will be on standby
during the parade, but didn't know if Conway would have secret service
with her while attending the event.
Conway will be joined by her family in the parade, which is the concluding event celebrating Hammonton's 150th anniversary.
During
the event, Conway will be presented with a key to the town of Hammonton
and will give brief remarks at Bellvue Avenue and Horton Street.
The parade will begin at 7 p.m. at Bellevue Avenue and North Liberty Street.
