Perfect day sets the backdrop for Hamilton's annual Fourth of July celebration.

Hamilton Celebrates Fourth on Perfect Day

With long-time judge and civic leader Arnold Fisher as its grand marshall, Hamilton's signature Fourth of July filled the streets this morning on what can only be called the perfect July day: sunny, bright, breezy.

Music echoed along the parade route from marching and community bands, and local fire departments turned out in force.

Mayor Marget Mill was sworn in Friday but officially took office today. She marched in the parade courting future voters by passing out candy to kids seated street-side. Assemblyman Bill Magee and Senator Dave Valesky were also in the parade.

Yet this afternoon is the "town ball" game on Colgate's rugby field and fireworks over Colgate this evening.
