We celebrated the Columbus Day Parade this Sunday and it was a marvelous event on a wonderful weather day. Sponsored by our Borough President James Molinaro, this was the 17th Annual march up New Dorp Lane. There were marchers and floats and bands galore entertaining the many citizens of Staten Island and New Dorp who lined the streets to enjoy this spectacle. Yes, the high school bands were there, various sco
ut troops, our own New Dorp High School float, various Italian organizations, the SI Zoo, and Mrs.Rosemary's dancers. Many restaurants along the Lane sold food to the hungry spectators (and marchers). A good time was had by all. Me? I stood on the sunny side of the street and actually picked up a little sunburn as I enjoyed the festive display. I hope you managed to enjoy this treat for our community.
