Independence Day
Bridgeton’s 35th Annual Fourth of July Parade
was once again a huge success. This year’s theme
was “Childhood Memories”. A special thanks to
the Parade Marshals, past teachers that taught in
the Bridgeton area schools including the Bridgeton
area Catholic schools.
I’d like to personally thank the Special Events
Commission and others who helped plan the parade.
Those who served as judges: Kathy Schrumpf,
Ginger Noblitt, Julie Chase, Marsha Hartman, Trish
Hurlburt, Roger Creason and Mike Riley for their
efforts and everyone who participated in the
festivities. Thanks again for your hard work.
Congratulations to the trophy and prize winners:
Mayor Bowers
