Parade steps off @ 2PM. Line up in Stony Point along Route 210 [exit 15 of the P.I.P.]. March down Route 210 toward Route 9W, make a right on Route 9W and wind up @ Kay Fries Drive. Looks like it's going to be a nice day so I hope some people make the trip up to Stony Point. Since I will be marching that means no photos. My company is the last in the 2nd division, so snap a few photos of Central Nyack if ya wouldn't mind !

It was basically a show & tell for the press. Fire Departments & Local Government were the only ones invited. They had all 13 rigs lined up, then after the ceremony was over, we asked each rig to drive across the field and pose in front of the New York City Skyline and then in front of a building in better sun light. I shot a total of 142 pictures. Was quite a nice day. Rescue-1 provided food & beverages as well. Elizabeth FD also put on a nice demonstration of some of the skills they learned by getting USAR certified.
