Bastille Day, July 16, 2016 in Frenchtown, New Jersey

Every year in the middle of July we celebrate Bastille Day in our town of Frenchtown, New Jersey.  This year the celebration took place only a couple days after the tragedy in Nice, France.  Though the celebration took place anyway, it was with thoughts and prayers for the people of Nice- and France.

Messages of hope and peace
