Baldwinsville Celebrates America's 250th Birthday

Directions

Baldwinsville Celebrates America's 250th Birthday Baldwinsville Celebrates Council is hosting a 2-day celebration/Fundraiser for America's 250th Birthday and Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry!

July 2nd and 3rd we are asking the Baldwinsville Community and surrounding areas to join our event! The Baldwinsville Celebrates Council is calling on the Baldwinsville Community and our friends to help us create the best celebration for our country's 250th Birthday and raise money for our Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry! We are looking for sponsors and donations to help us meet our $25,000 fundraising goal. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we didn't have a celebration this past 4th however due to that we learned how amazing our community members are by stating they would have helped donate had they known! WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP! Now we have the opportunity to work together as a community in our fundraising efforts so we can bring this event to our Village, have enough money left over from the proceeds to create a foundation for 2027 and donate to The Baldwinsville Food Pantry in honor of Sally Dayger who has been a huge advocate and wonderful person who's always held Baldwinsville dearly in her heart. The outline for the event is as follows:

Thursday, July 2nd (the actual date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence)

4-07:00pm, Baldwin Square ~ Market, Food and Vending
7-10:15pm, Mercer Park, Live Music and Fireworks

Our incredible helpers Rowena and River! During our daily watering of George, we met a wonderful family with two beautiful girls. Coming from Syracuse and because they love our amazing village, they hopped on their boat and came for a visit!

The girls were so kind they helped water George and we’re so grateful! Especially George who is growing so nicely!

We also received a message our final deposit check will be ready tomorrow and we’re hoping to do the donation ceremony, Wednesday, August 11th. Time and place TBA. We’ll let you know soon!

Hi everyone! Just a quick note to say George is doing fantastic and we still haven’t received our last deposit check yet so our donation ceremony to the Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry will hopefully be soon.

We also have some exciting news and once we secure one more piece we’ll be sharing that as well!

Thank you again to all our sponsors, donors, vendors, Village of Baldwinsville office admins, our Mayor & friends, DPW, Police, Firemen, EMTs, musicians, volunteers, NYS Canal System, US Coastguard, and guests! Together we absolutely make Baldwinsville better and accomplish amazing things for so many! You’re the best!

Happy official 250th birthday of the signing of our Declaration of Independence ! 🎉🇺🇸🙏🏽❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸📜 August 2nd is the day the Founders actually put pen to parchment!🇺🇸📜

Congress approved the Declaration on July 4, 1776 — but the formal parchment copy wasn’t engrossed and signed until August 2. On July 19, Congress ordered the Declaration to be “fairly engrossed” on parchment and signed by every member. Timothy Matlack, a Philadelphia scribe, hand-lettered the document. On August 2nd, the delegates gathered at the Pennsylvania State House and began signing — John Hancock first, centered and bold, followed by delegates organized by state from New Hampshire to Georgia.

56 men ultimately signed. Not all were present that day. Some signed later. Some who voted for independence on July 4th had already left Congress. Some who signed on August 2nd hadn't even been delegates on the 4th.

Every signature was an act of treason against the Crown — and an act of faith in a new nation. 🇺🇸

Edit: Great news. It wasn’t kids or anyone being mean. Landscaper apparently came by and thought our flowers were weeds so they chopped them down. They’re now aware we’ll be replacing them and we’ll rope them off to keep them safe. Thank you so much for the care and support We do have the best community. Now to get The landscapers a book on flowers.

Sad moment! Whomever removed the flowers (bought) for our Liberty Tree needs to replace them. What a horrible thing to do. 10 plants gone!!!

Words can’t describe how this feels!
