Bellmore Woman Named Finalist in KJOY Contest

Joyce Goldsmith of Bellmore has been named a finalist in the KJOY Backyard Barbecue Contest.

Goldsmith, put her business on hold a few years ago to take care of her father who has Alzheimer's. 

"This contest has given me hope all summer-long. I'm a full time caregiver for my father who has Alzheimer's. I adore my Dad, but I have very little time for anything else. I would love to see all my friends again," Goldsmith told KJOY.

Goldsmith said that she and her husband will be celebrating their 35th anniversary on Sept. 2 and that a barbecue with their friends will be the "greatest gift of all." 

The winner of the contest will have a big barbecue thrown at their house by KJOY. Representatives from the radio station will go to the winner's home, cook food for 25 people and provide beverages from Honest Tea. 

A new grill will be brought to the winner's home and each winner will receive ice cream and tickets to an upcoming New York Mets game, courtesy of Carvel Ice Cream.
