Monmouth County has announced their second snowplow naming contest for 5th graders. Last year's snowplow naming contest was so much fun, they're doing it again. The contest is open to 5th graders in Freehold.

The Monmouth County Department of Transportation cooked up a fun idea for kids last year and the kids came out in force. So many responses were received that they actually named two snowplows last year.

Last Years Snowplow Naming Contest Winners

The 2023 winners of the Monmouth County Snowplow naming contest were "Snow Force One" and "The Fast and the Flurrious". Classic names for sure, thanks to the creative minds of a student at Amerigo A. Anastasia Elementary in Long Branch and Woodrow Wilson School in Neptune City.

What will the kids come up with for the 2024 contest? Time will tell!
