The Grand Marshal Car, for former Mayor Randy Casale, will be in this Corvette, sponsored by Pedego. You’ve seen Pedego on Rte 52 and it’s where some of you (now more of you) will get your electric bikes from! They also sell cars! Mama Cervone is in seen in the photos. She was recalling the days when they used to lend the Cervone towing truck to their elementary school for the float.

Former Mayor Randy Casale has accepted the Spirit of Beacon Committee’s humble request for him to be this year’s Spirit of Beacon’s Grand Marshall of the Parade, for our 45th year!

Randy Casale is a Beaconite who served the City in various ways, including as Beacon’s Highway Superintendent for 16 years, City Council member, and as Beacon’s Mayor. Randy told a friend once that he always wanted to be the Mayor of Beacon. That is how deep his commitment to the city was and is. Randy will always let you know what he thinks, and while your debate with him may get spirited, you will both know where you stand. Next day, friends again. As Mayor, Randy may have pursued a direction, but after he heard from the public who attended City Council Meetings to voice their opinions during Public Comment sessions, Randy was known to change his position based on his constituents.

Today, Randy has not slowed down. He can be spotted walking all over this city, and currently works in the The Roosevelt Bar. We only took a minute of his time to get his acceptance as he was preparing for a Friday evening behind the bar, serving the weekend crowd. Thank You Randy!
