Croton to host parade, party and pyrotechnics
With the 4th of July weekend approaching there are a lot of events out there aimed at commemorating the creation of our great nation. As America nears birthday #246 (just 4 years from what looks to be a superlative semiquincentennial celebration in 2026) one has ample opportunities to engage in some serious revelry.
