Narrowsburg, NY, a lovely town just across the PA border along the Delaware River.

The people who live and visit there are warm and friendly. It's a family-kind of town.

Every July 4th they have a celebration with a parade and fireworks.

The main street is lined with vendors selling all types of goodies.

The quaint shops are open for browsing and finding just the item you've been searching for.

In the evening after the fantastic fireworks display, families would slowly walk back through the maize of vendors seeking the treat they missed earlier.

However, this year's celebration was a great disappointment.

Someone had a better idea -- or so they thought.

The vendors were scattered all over town. If you were looking for your favorite food item, chances are you didn't find it.

If you were the least bit handicapped you were at a great disadvantage.

After the parade many people left. In the past years they would have stayed and yes, spent money.

This year the weather was spectacular. I suspect many who would have stayed and enjoyed the festivities went southwest to the town of Greeley, PA, and helped out the fire company by partaking of their chicken dinner.

Whoever was in charge of this year's event I would suggest they pay heed to the old adage, "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
