Plainfield Celebrates the Fourth of July with its 100th Parade Credits: David Rutherford
PLAINFIELD, NJ — On Thursday, the city of Plainfield held its 100th 4th of July parade. As usual, the parade started at East Front Street and Johnston Avenue and concluded at West Front Street and Madison Avenue. The parade boasted high participation this year, as it lasted nearly three hours from start to finish as observed from any one spot.
"The 100th parade was a wonderful event for all," said Grand Marshall James Plummer, who compared the environment to that of a football game. "Besides being a celebration of the country’s birthday I feel honored to be involved in an event that brings so many Plainfield residents together."
"The enthusiasm for the day and Plainfield was clearly evident. Thus, to be chosen as the Grand Marshall, I’m humbled that my four decades of work to support others in town, at [Rutgers] University, and around the state was recognized by Mayor Mapp and his administration," concluded the legendary educator and community activist.
