Assemblywoman Russell: Waddington Homecoming parade always draws a big crowd


It was a great day on the today with stops in Antwerp and Waddington. The Waddington Homecoming Committee extended the parade route to Whitaker Park this year, and a great crowd meant our photographer was so busy with the North Country First parade candy detail that he had little time to shoot photos. It was great fun marching behind the Madrid-Waddington High School marching band. We even snuck a little candy to the percussion section, but they pocketed their treats until after the parade. I think our North Country First parade team fed off the band's energy. It was also a good time this afternoon with a lot of friends, old and new, in Antwerp.
