Well what can we say, it was a wet one. Another Ossining parade in the books. We can’t thank everyone enough from the spectators that held in there standing their ground and watched, to the attending agencies that marched in the pouring rain. Being soaked was an understatement, but hey it did make it a bit cooler?

Now down to the nitty gritty. Tonight’s parade was the last for our current Chief, Michael Scarduzio Jr. At the end of this year, his 2-year term as of Chief Engineer comes to an end. We are also happy we were able to assist the Westchester County Volunteer Firefighter’s Association in being able to host the Convention Parade in conjunction with ours.

Congratulations to this years Grand Marshal, Commissioner/Safety Officer John Joe D’Emidio of Ossining Hose Company No. 1. John Joe also currently serves as the Company President of Ossining Hose along with being an apparatus operator. He has been serving in our department color guard for many many years.

We’d also like to take the time to thank the Westchester County Parade Judges Association and the Tri-State Musical Judging Association for their services. Congrats to our big winners of the evening including the Cortlandt Engine Co. Of the Montrose FD on taking home Best Overall & the Joe Moore Memorial Award.

This event is an undertaking that takes many and has a plethora of moving parts. The assistance of the many services in the Village makes this all possible. Thank you to The Ossining Police Department, the Ossining Volunteer Ambulance Corps, The Town of Ossining, New York, the The Village of Ossining, New York, the Department of Public Works, and the Ossining Recreation and Parks Department.
So, till next year Ossining. We look forward to again being a part of your summer and a continued Hometown tradition. We borrowed a few from Mike Risko Music School’s page & From Frank Becerra from LOHUD. We thank them both for the pics!
