Dear residents and community members,
The Fourth of July is upon us and once again we are reminded of the freedoms and privileges we are blessed to enjoy in this country. Let us never forget: There is no place like the U.S.A.
After a year of social pause, it is extremely encouraging to see the return of many of our community events in a safe, fun manner. It was heartwarming to see so many of our residents and community members at our recent Food Truck Festival, enjoying the many delicacies of the day and phenomenal live music.
The event was a great success with close to 5,000 people in attendance over the course of the eight-hour event. We were pleased to show our support for the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan at this event, raising more than $2,000 to assist in its mission of “Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter.”
Special thanks to those that attended, our employees and volunteers who worked the event, as well as our local emergency services agencies who were instrumental in maintaining a safe environment.
Save the date for the next Food Truck Festival taking place on Saturday, Oct. 16th. Additional details will follow in the coming months.
We hope to see you all at the Village of Monroe Fourth of July Fireworks celebration on Friday, July 2, at 9 p.m., sponsored by the Town of Monroe and Village of Harriman.
Wishing you all a fun, safe and relaxing holiday weekend!
Tony Cardone
Supervisor, Town of Monroe
