Our weekend of events celebrating America’s 250th took us from one end of the county to the other and everywhere in between.

Saturday took us from an awesome parade in Utica, to the Oneida County Public Market, to the Village of Waterville’s Celebration, to the City of Rome’s Celebration, to a great 4th of July gathering at A&P Master Imaging, and ended with fireworks at Utica’s Harbor Point.

Sunday began with church with a most fitting Homily by Father Hage followed by breakfast with the family. The Village of Clinton’s parade was jam packed with spirit and patriotism and so was the ceremony in the village green that followed. We ended our night with an enjoyable get together at the Humphreys Farm in New Hartford where we had a front row seat on the hill overlooking Sherillbrook Park for a spectacular fireworks display!

God Bless America!!

Friday lunch with Lincoln….. XOXO
