Under the bright lights of the Town Hall, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as community members gathered for the recent Town Board meeting in Clinton, NY. The highlight of the evening came from Tucker, the vice president of Friends of Clinton, who passionately recounted the success of the recent Community Day event.

Despite the rain that threatened to dampen spirits, Tucker celebrated the resilience and enthusiasm of the community. "We had a lot of mud, more mud than we ever bargained for," he recalled, but the weather did not deter the fun. As the sun broke through just in time for the parade, the energy surged, showcasing the town's vibrant spirit.

Tucker expressed gratitude to all who participated, from local businesses to families and community groups, emphasizing the impressive turnout. The Clinton Post Office won the award for the best community float, a tribute to the town's rich history. The day was filled with laughter, games, and music, with three bands performing and various vendors providing food and entertainment.

Looking ahead, Tucker encouraged residents to mark their calendars for the upcoming dance party on July 12, where attendees are asked to bring non-perishable food items for the local food pantry. He also announced plans for next year’s Community Day, set for June 6, 2026, which will honor local heroes.

As the meeting continued, discussions shifted to zoning issues raised during the public hearing, highlighting the ongoing efforts to address community needs and concerns. The evening wrapped up with a sense of unity and anticipation for future events, reinforcing the strong bonds within the Town of Clinton.
