The Olde Forge/Surrey Square neighborhood held a traditional Independence Day Parade. Del. Eileen Filler-Corn (D-41) led the parade riding in the convertible of Paula and David McKinney, followed by other cars decked out for Independence Day and concluding with many neighborhood children on their bicycles. The McKinneys, along with Donna Fricas, Steve Sheffield, Terry and Christopher Shashaty and Owen Zentner also provided and organized more than 800 flags to line the neighborhood during Independence Day. They repeat this tradition for Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
