I do believe we had the largest participation by our young folks in many years; it was great to see. I’m very excited more of the town’s youth are getting involved in this great Madison tradition. Also, the collection of antique and classic cars was great… with the highlights being the CT Antique Police Car Group as well as over 25 Corvettes from the Corvette Club of CT.
I would like to thank Dr. Marty Sklaire for being our Grand Marshal this year. He has certainly had a very positive affect on the youth of our town over his many years of service.
