Phew! Hot enough for ya? We’re officially beginning the pool opening countdown. If anybody’s got recommendations for their favorite water spots–parks or pools or streams, anywhere where the kids can get wet–I’d love to hear about them. Especially places that happen to be available at this very moment.
Meanwhile, back to business.
So, looking around for parade information was quite the quest. Many municipalities don’t keep things too up-to-date, but I’m listing these because I’ve found them either on the municipality’s website or in at least two different locations if the official websites didn’t list them–usually the Daily Gazette, the Saratoga events site, the Times Union, the Rensselaer County site, and miscellaneous sites like the Fyfes & Drummes of Olde Saratoga. I’m sure that I’m also missing some good activities, but keep in mind that there’s still the weekend post coming up on Thursday. This is just very Memorial-Day specific parades or activities. And not services. Because this is about Capital District Fun.
