Raritan Township Offices “Open the Door” On Holiday Spirit

RARITAN TWP., N.J. (Hunterdon County) — Across the Township’s municipal offices, a friendly decorative door competition brings out the workforce’s creativity and holiday spirit!

In its first iteration, Raritan Township’s Administration Office encouraged its employees to participate in the first annual decorative door contest.

Following the Thanksgiving holiday, employees took to the drawing board, crafting their ideas of how each office could spread holiday cheer amongst each other and those visiting the municipal buildings.

Below are a few of the decorative doors across the municipal complex residents and visitors can see before the end of the 2024 calendar year:
