Columbus Day Parade - New York City October 11, 2010

Columbus Day Parade in New York City is set to occur on October 11, 2010. The parade is sure to be packed again this year with folk dancers, singers, colorful floats and visitors from Italy who will be in the parade and on the side lines cheering on.

The parade signifies an important day for our family. It will be 54 years on Columbus Day that my father first came to America. I always tell him he's walking history. He's now 80 years old and still talks about coming to America like it was yesterday. Truly amazing. On that note, Happy Columbus Day everyone, enjoy!
