All rights reserved. About 70 entrants participated in the Annual Children’s Parade held July 4, 2007 at Washington and Burton. Led by the Hasbrouck Heights Police and Fire Departments, the Parade proceeded east on Washington to Terrace, south to Kipp Avenue and north to the starting point where medals were awarded. All classifications and categories were registered prior to The Parade. Medals were awarded in the categories of patriotic, most original and most artistic to: costumed children on foot, wagons and tricycles, carriages, strollers, etc., decorated bicycles, floats, and grandparents’ corner, with carriages and children on foot. Bicycle helmets were required for those on bicycles. All participants received medals. (If your child was registered, but inadvertently did not receive a medal, please contact the Boro Clerk’s Office at 201-288-0195). Registration was limited to Hasbrouck Heights children (and children attending Hasbrouck Heights schools) up to 10 years of age, excluding the grandparents’ corner. The event was sponsored by the Mayor’s Celebrations Committee. The Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department provided the PA
systems and was on hand for any assistance. The New World Montessori School opened
for the public to use their restrooms. Dr. Michael Perrillo provided cold water.
