Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) recently congratulated Samantha Darr, a nine year old girl from Wantagh, for being chosen as a first place winner in his “Amazing Animals” Photo Contest. The contest gave residents of all ages a fun way to show their appreciation for animals.
Samantha, who will be starting fourth grade at Forest Lake Elementary School in the fall, was chosen as a first place winner for her photo submission featuring her cat, Mickey D. The cat is named Mickey D because Samantha’s parents found it as an orphaned kitten in the parking lot of the McDonalds in Wantagh.
Samantha’s photo, along with the rest of the photo submissions, can be viewed by clicking here.
