+dhenninger Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Tonight the name change of my town was finalized. The town changed names from West Paterson to Woodland Park. This change was a referendum question on the Nov 4th general election ballot. So on to the cointest: Answer one of the following questions and you might win a random coin. 1. How many votes did the name change pass by? 2. What town was West Paterson part of before forming into it's own borough? 3. Name another New Jersey town that changed it's name by a vote in the past 5 years rules: only answer one question max one win per person no whining 1 entry per 15 min. No editing of your responses to change your answer! Edited December 18, 2008 by dhenninger Quote

+CacheMiner72 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Recieved my coin a few days ago, and it was an awesome one. It's my first ever event coin. A 2007 Midwest Geobash coin is an awesome way to start. Now I just have to get myself to one of these great events and I'll be even happier. Thanks again for the cointest and the beautiful coin. kayn Quote
