Ridgewood Residents Get An Early Start On Fourth Of July
RIDGEWOOD, NJ (CBSNewYork) -- The chairs have already started to show up along Maple Avenue. Although they were empty Friday, they will be occupied next week when the village's annual Fouth of July parade weaves its way through town.
Residents traditionally stake out their spots for the parade ahead of the event.
"If you're gonna hook it up to a telephone pole with a piece of twine on there, I guess there is a little bit of trust," a Ridgewood resident told 1010 WINS' Al Jones.
The parade was first staged in 1910 and kicks off an epic town-wide celebration. The festivities are capped off at night with a fireworks display.
Mayor Paul Aronsohn said he's never heard of a chair being stolen.
