We marched proudly in this year’s Fairport Fourth of July parade in support of the Steel Rail Revival! A very special thanks to long-time Fairport Principal Richard Greene who played guitar and sang. And thank you to Ken, owner of Brooke's Enterprise, for providing the decked-out trailer and transportation for our float! As one of the beneficiaries of this year’s Steel Rail Revival proceeds, we are grateful to walk alongside these rock ‘n roll superstars! Shoutout to our co-beneficiary Pirate Toy Fund who also participated and provided toys to hand out. Want to be a part of the fun at the Steel Rail Revival on July 21st?
