Rain Holds Off, Crowds Turn Out for Downtown Activities

Bradford City Police Officers Chris Lucco and Steve Green show some of their gear to people during National Night Out activities Tuesday.
Emily Marshall entertained the crowd in Veterans Square, which included the delightful Hatcher family (minus Josh).
These kids enjoy the giant slide at the Kids Carnival sponsored by the First United Methodist Church and the YMCA.
Elm Street Manager Lisa Campogiani took time to pose with daughter Gabby and doggie before the pet parade.



Ginny Hauser had her hands full with her (and husband Chris's) dogs so she got help from "aunt" Mary Anne Polucci-Sherman.
Jay Monti and Blou were grand marshals for the parade. Heidi Mackowski and Tony Danias of the McKean County SPCA also participated, as did many other dogs.



Linda Newman made sure her husband Dave got something to eat from Taste of Bradford in Veterans Square before he headed off to the pet parade.

This was an awesome event and thank YOU for all the work you put into it and to Anita for Taste of Bradford. Combining the two events was a fantastic idea. Being on the committee was fun, too, although I didn't do nearly as much as the rest of you. But kudos to Mike Close, Linda Close, Steve Green and Chris Lucco. It can only get bigger and better, right? :)

And thanks to ALL the volunteers who helped with the downtown and neighborhood events and, last but not least, Chip Comilla, Terry Kornacki and the City.

Oh yeah ... big thanks to everyone who attended!

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
