Stephen Baker 'The Touchdown Maker' Appears At Marlboro Day

Marlboro Day just gets bigger every year.

This year, it was capped with an appearance by former NY Giants wide receiver Stephen Baker "The Touchdown Maker."

Amidst the hundreds of local businesses interacting with thousands of Marlboro residents, Baker planted himself at Mayor Jon Hornik's annual football tent (with the Patriots game playing behind him) to sign autographs and take pictures with a long line of eager fans.

Local businesses displayed their crafts and names to thousands, with fantastic giveaways to draw Marlboro residents in. Township committees, including the Open Space Committee, Shade Tree and Agricultural committees offered residents a wealth of information and fun.

A performance by Voiceworks of Marlboro Township allowed students to showcase their musical talents to an eager crowd.
