🌱 North Fork Daily: Parade Photos + Stunning Home + New Inn
The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today on the North Fork.

Good morning, North Fork neighbors and friends! Despite gusty winds and chilly temps, fire departments from across Long Island flocked to the North Fork Saturday to join in the annual Greenport Washington's Birthday Parade. There's something about a parade on the North Fork that just captures the deeply rooted traditions and love of place that we all share. Seeing the same faces, proudly marching year after year, speaks to a selfless dedication to the community that we do well to foster in our own children. The North Fork is a special place and it's events like this parade that spotlight that hometown spirit that shines so brightly in our corner of the world.
Until tomorrow. . .
