People are talking about our parade: "I would just like to tell you what an amazing job you all did. So many people mentioned how great the parade was this year. I really appreciate all of the hard work you all put in and I think I speak for all of Robbinsville when I say thank you. I am already looking forward to this next year and Jim will be helping me pick out my first kilt." --Dave Fried, Mayor of Robbinsville "This years parade (2nd Annual) was awesome! Our group ended up with 17 cars, a few more than I expected. Each and every person said they had a great time. The crowd seemed to really enjoy the cars. Our drivers all said they had people making positive comments throughout the parade. I know I heard a lot more than I expected with the RHR hearse and had a lot of people clapping for it. It seemed to be very popular! You guys did a really good job organizing everything. It went very smoothly with no problems that I saw. Our guys can't wait until next years parade now. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to participate, I hope we did you proud." --John Holden, Robbinsville HotRods "Kudos, Dave & Committee! A lovely Parade and a lovely new event for us! I'm sure you'll only get better and bigger! Great job on the weather and great job overall! The Dancers and I had a grand time!" --Jean Ver Hoeven, South Jersey Irish Society Dancers/Dansations Hainesport NJ "...thanks for asking Project Freedom to participate. We all had a fun time." --Norman Smith, Project Freedom Inc.
