Many stores on Brockport’s Main Street will be decked out in red, white, and blue buntings for the July 4 holiday. Twenty buntings are being made available free to merchants by the Western Monroe Historical Society. The Society is using part of its “Bring Back the Fourth” Liberty Mutual grant to help bring a patriotic spirit to downtown Brockport. As of press time, several merchants have accepted the buntings which are on loan for the period and will be given out again next year. “It’s one way to enhance Brockport’s celebration with the grant money, in addition to improvements being made with our ‘Old Fashioned Fourth of July’ at the Morgan-Manning House,” said Alicia Fink, president of the Society’s board of trustees.
The “Old Fashioned Fourth of July” begins at Remembrance Park at 10 a.m. and an opening band concert on the Morgan-Manning grounds starting at 11 a.m.
