One of the highlights of Cornwall’s Independence Day festivities is the annual parade that passes through Cornwall-on-Hudson along Hudson Street to Cornwall, where it ends at Chadeayne Circle.
The parade was nice, however, I found the Madison Avenue Float to be a bit disturbing..... Having young girls, all under the age of 10, modeling swimsuits for sale is in my opinion too commercial and in bad taste for a 4th of July parade....
