SAVE THE DATE!

This year's event is coming together very nicely.

At a time when family resources are down, through our collaboration with organizations who understand the importance of Public Safety, we are providing a "FREE" Carnival experience that will enhance relationships around the County.

This year, there are MANY NEW components that are sure to bring smiles and satisfaction to every person. Something for people of all ages.

We will continue to update the fliers are we get closer to the event and more components are confirmed.

My thanks to our early sponsors: The Innovation Partnership with Daniel McCoy - Albany County Executive and MVP healthcare. Harding Mazzotti and M & T Bank.

We need more sponsors to help make this a reality. If you would like to contribute, please reach out.

Looking forward to seeing you on August 8th!

My thanks to the FBI - Albany SAC Craig Tremaroli and his great team for engaging with the residents of Albany County.

Your participation ensures that positive relationships are built and our region becomes stronger.

My only question is, "Where's Tim Leonard"😂 He is one of the best.
