It’s going to be a day!! June 20th!

Save the Date! This summer, America is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We are teaming up with the Wilson Fire Company #1 to co-host a Community Parade on June 20th at 6 PM. We're looking for 50 volunteers to carry state flags and plenty of antique vehicles. If interested, please use the contact information provided below. Wilson's Leon Festival will also be concluding that day, with a concert starting at 7 PM. What a great excuse to spend a summer day in Wilson, NY!

To everyone who came out, supported local businesses, and joined in the fun, you made this all worthwhile.

We’re grateful for the time, talent, and support each of you brought to the day. Thanks for helping us make it something special.
