Trophies will be awarded to the best appearing Fire Company as well as the Fire Company with the most firemen in line.
If you or your group would like to participate, please call 658-2685 or 658-2624. A parade is only as good as its participants, and we look forward to having you join us this year. Let’s celebrate Independence Day with the best parade ever! Please note – it is not necessary to follow the theme; it is only offered as a guide.
Since most of our parade expenses are paid with funds contributed by individuals and businesses, we must once again ask for your financial support. Please make your contributions payable to “The July 4th Parade Committee” and mail them to Jane Fitzgerald, P.O. Box 152, Berlin, NY, 12022.
