Orange

Jim was up and out the door early Saturday morning to attend the Port Jervis Firefighters Parade.  Port Jervis (Orange County) is about an hour-and-a-half drive from Jim's home in New Rochelle.  After that parade, he made a few other campaign stops before eventually ending up at -- you guessed it -- another Firefighters Parade, this time in Millbrook (Dutchess County).  All in all, Jim gave out too many palm cards to count!

There was no holiday from the campaign trail.  Saturday morning, Jim attended the Great American Weekend in Goshen. This is one of the largest annual events in Orange County (and Jim highly recommends that you put it on your "to do list" for next year).  Jim campaigned at the event with State Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt and his running mate Matt Byrne. Jim met a lot of great people and their warm support inspired him to keep on going. That night, he headed back to Westchester County to Kensico Dam and another unbelievable fireworks display.  Jim's family and a few friends joined him as they met even more people.  The Kensico Dam event was probably the largest event Jim has done so far.

It was a family outing as Jim, Michael and Jean headed to Bear Mountain State Park for its annual fireworks display. Jim received a very favorable response as he met hundreds of residents, mostly from Rockland and Orange counties.  And the fireworks display was simply spectacular!
