CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. â The Clifton Park community celebrated the Fourth of July in its traditional fashion this year, with crowds of people gathered for a parade, fireworks and more.
After a scaled-down celebration in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, local leaders were thrilled to once again present the full-blown patriotic festival this Independence Day.
âWe werenât sure this year how big the parade might be, coming off obviously a difficult past year and a half for our community and society, but boy it was fantastic,â Clifton Park Town Supervisor Phil Barrett said during a ceremony at Clifton Common immediately following the parade. âItâs great to see so many people here and celebrating what it is to be an American, and to show appreciation for everything we have as Americans.â

The two towns around Northway Exit 9 are anticipating extended local traffic disruptions because of the boom rig accident Wednesday morning that seriously damaged the Sitterly Road overpass over the Northway, closing that bridge indefinitely, pending repairs.
Two out of three Northway lanes re-opened before the Thursday morning commute, relieving the shocking wave of additional traffic on local roads that was seen after Wednesday morning’s crash, which abruptly closed all the southbound lanes but the situation on Thursday wasn’t anywhere near normal, either.

Officials in Saratoga County provided updates Wednesday on a number of efforts related to assisting residents during the pandemic.
Saratoga County Public Health Services Commissioner Dr. Daniel Kuhles says the county is making progress in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
“We’re averaging now about 44 cases a day in the last week. At our peak on January 6th, it was 276 cases per day. So it’s a dramatic decrease,” said Kuhles.
Hospitalizations are down too, and to date, more than 32,000 county residents have received at least one dose of vaccine. Though the supply of vaccine being provided to the county through the state and federal government is increasing, demand still outstrips supply.
