Happy July 4th everyone! So for this week's TBT post, we take things back to 2022. We attended two July 4th festitivities that day. In the morning we attended the Saugerties Fire Department July 4th parade (Photos previously posted) and later in the evening, we attended the of Windham's July 4th parade. The parade stepped off at 7pm marching through the village. Many village folk were out on the town seeing how this was the first July 4th celebration in the town since covid. Restaurants were open for dinner and many who were eating patio side could watch the parade as it went by. Also in the village square there was church that had a small stage set up where a local band was playing prior to the parade starting. Sounds of the song "Brickhouse" ~ by the Commodores was heard being played hyping up the crowds for the parade. Following the parade at dusk (around 9pm), first works were set off from the mountain resort.

The same festivities will take place this evening, parade starting at 7pm and fire works to follow around 9pm.
