Met with the Chiefs of the City of Beacon (Police and Fire) and Lieutenant Walden and City Administrator Chris White to catch up on coordination for this Big Day — to visualize where the parade participants need to pull up on Wolcott.

The Police team were excited to use their fancy and fun Smart Board to pull up the Google Map. Felt just like we were in the elementary schools (have read to the kindergartners), who also love their Smart Boards for showing all the things.

We’re going to make you a map so that parade participants can see where to pull up! City Administrator tried to duck out of photo, but we got him! He was there!

Sunday, September 25th, 2022. Tell your friends!
