Excitement at The Fireman's Parade

On June 30, we got to see the Mamaroneck Firemen's Parade. Alex loved it! I wasn't too sure how he'd react, but once he saw the first group - an impressive show of motorcycle police from all over the area - he was hooked! Firefighters and tower engines! Ambulances and tow trucks. Police cars and emergency aid vehicles. All the things he loves!

He was thrilled with the marching bands, particularly those that included pipers. The NYC representations showed some of the best bands, but his all time favorite was the pipe and drum corps of the New York State Court Officers. They were the last to march and Alex was thrilled to march alongside them down Mamaroneck Avenue to Boston Post Road.

I expected a short parade. It lasted more than 2 hours, showing representation of important civil servants from the whole Metro area, including even fire departments from New Jersey.

What a great day! (Topped off by pizza on Mamaroneck Avenue)
