A Glorious Day for a Parade

Though Memorial Day weekend was largely a washout, May 27 dawned sunny and warm, just in time for the Memorial Day Parade, sponsored by Scarsdale American Legion Post 52. The parade brought out patriots young and old, with some of the veterans too old to march and some of the youngest still in strollers.
A color guard of marines from the 2nd Battalion in Garden City led the march which began on Chase Road in Scarsdale.

Under the direction of Jason Noble about 70 members of the Scarsdale High School Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble played patriotic scores, while state and village officials, police, firemen, the Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the Little League, Scarsdale and Edgemont Brownies and Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts from grade school through high school lined up for the processional. Bringing up the rear were an antique fire truck, ambulances and emergency vehicles.

Among the locals we spotted were Mayor Bob Steves, Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, Former Mayor Miriam Flisser with
granddaughter Emily, Trustee Jon Mark, BK Munguia, Mary Blumenthal Lane and Amy Cooper from the Girl Scouts and Fire Chief Thomas Cain.
