In fact, all 8 cast members from the current “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” were in attendance, including Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Pauly D, Angelica Pivarnik, Deena Cortese and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.
Mayor Small explained why the cast deserves such an honor … “Because in the last 15 years, this group has made New Jersey proud with strength, perseverance, family values, gym, tan, laundry.”
