Friday June 30, 2006 - 4th of July Parade

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Well we started our Independace Day Weekend with a mad rush. Our town, Fairfield, always has their parade and fireworks the Friday before the 4th and this year we decided to be a part of the parade. Our good friends Bob, Beth and Charlene Putt were nice enough to let us use their pick-up truck then we decorated it with Nemo pictures and made signs
and then piled everyone up in the back of the truck and joined the parade. We had, Christina, Julie, Drew, Vincent, James, Veronica, Christoper, Mussy, Ronnie, and of course the Putt's. The kids, Mussy and Ronnie, walked along side of the truck and handed out candy to the kids while Jack, Roy and Bob sat inside the truck (in the air conditioning). We waved, said thank you and even got a few people wet with water guns. This was the first time in my life living in Fairfield that I actually was in the parade other then my dad being Grand Marshall a couple years ago.

Before the parade began we were greeted by Mayor Rocco Palmieri and his wife,
the whole town council and our Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen.
What nice, caring people. We can't thank the Mayor enough for having Jack as one of the beneficiaries of the Mayor's Ball and we wanted to show our gratitude to him and the township for all their support. Everyone has been so generous and we just can't begin to show our appreciation.

So here's to you Mayor, Council and the whole town of Fairfield.
THANK YOU!
