WOW!!That sums up the
Town of Brookfield July 4’th Celebration. Unquestionably the largest, most enthusiastic assemblage- ever descended on Marx Park to commemorate/celebrate our Country’s cornerstone date! And what a celebration it was…
A parade where bright smiles and festively-decorated bikes, strollers, wagons, and kids of all ages marched (almost) in unison to Marx Park…
Town Chairman Keith Henderson leading the Pledge of Allegiance…
Thousands respectfully joined singing the “Star Spangled Banner”…
Games for all from new-born crawling contests to egg tosses for adults…
Incredible, reasonably-priced food cooked hot on the spot!...
Pies, cakes, and “sweets to eat” – Many donated from Town area businesses…
Dixieland Jazz from
The Bourbon Street Stompers…The Town Fire, Police, and Highway Departments contributing and interacting with all…
Huge trees being shredded and pulverized in the blink of an eye by the Town tree-chipper (now forever to be known as “Jaws”)…
Pie-eating contestants, male and female alike, contending for the most-coveted Town Golden Pig trophies while square dancers danced…Finally, a
“Fire Department Hose-Down” put the perfect finishing touch to a day of fun and memories…
My thanks to the dozens of volunteers; to the Town Parks, Rec, and Celebration Department and Committee; to the Police, Fire, and Highway Departments; to the Town Board; and to the local donors/businesses who contribute year after year…
Lastly, the entire Town of Brookfield should congratulate itself for their show of Community support and enthusiasm. Families of all ages gathered together capturing the spirit of the day is a wonderful thing to witness.
It was a great day, and remember – Less than 12 months ‘til next year!
