Finger Lakes Fridays

We Celebrated, We Commemorated


Last weekend our town held its biggest celebration of the year.....Memorial Day


Waterloo, NY is our nation's official "Birthplace of Memorial Day" and the people here really make a big deal about it.



there isnt much to our little village but once a year we all gather downtown for a parade and festival in the town square.





Each year, the theme of the day is "Celebrate, Commemorate".  There's plenty of fun stuff to see and do but there's also plenty of time set aside to honor those who sacrificed so much.















Celebrate, Commemorate was a fantastic way to spend the holiday weekend.  A little something for everyone, I suspect. 

Thanks for reading,
