Maintaining a Warwick Neck tradition
CUT UPS: Jack Henriques and Brad Peterson serve fresh watermelon.

A FRIENDLY HAND: Nixon with Sgt. Eric Falcofsky of the Warwick Police Department moments before the parade began.
A JULY 4TH TRADITION: Parade participants and spectators joined on Nixon’s lawn overlooking Greenwich Bay to salute the flag.
GRAND OLD FLAG: John Clegg and friends carry a 45-star flag that dates back to 1896.
LITTLE FIRECRACKERS: Sophie Matteson, 1, and her older sister Amelie, 3, were set to take part in the 20th annual Warwick Neck Parade, as “Mama’s Little Firecracker,” and “Miss Independence,” respectfully.
