Independence Day 2008 |

|
thanks to WB Fred Van Dyk The theme of this year's Ridgewood Independence Day
parade was NJ Crossroads of the Revolution and a number of floats
saluted our Brother George Washington. Here we have a couple of the imaginative
floats by the grammar schools in Ridgewood.

The Masonic delegation this year included Fidelity Lodge, members from other lodges, Salaam Shrine Motor Corps and Field Band. Here we have the group from the Motor Corp led by Dr. Maurice Maccario (second from left) and the Field Band. The Motor Corps kept the crowd entertained as we see here at the start of the parade and at the reviewing stand in front of Village Hall. |

Here we have the Fidelity Lodge contingent
and our guests who walked with us or rode on the float. Thanks to all who
helped make the day a success. Here we have brothers Howard Bookbinder and Frank Williams carrying our banner. |

and Louis De Socio for another great collation. Louie at the grill John and his wife Barbara taking a much deserved rest! |
