Congratulations to all of the graduates from Haldane, Garrison, Putnam Valley, the area's nursery schools, and all of the college students who completed their studies this spring.

This coming weekend will be very busy. The Quadricentennial and July 4th will be celebrated in style as Cold Spring Community Day, with a parade, activities, food, music, and fireworks. The parade starts at 2pm on Chestnut Street. Don't forget to decorate that bicycle--you might just win!

July 5th is the River Festival in Mayor's Park from 9am to 5pm, with 75 vendors selling arts, antiques, crafts, and jewelry.

See Page 7 in this issue for a full listing of weekend activities. There will be something for everyone to enjoy!
