Hundreds of participants and spectators came to Pound Ridge from all over the region to celebrate the start of Pride Month with a color fun run. Additional Pride Month ceremonies took place at the Bedford Town House and in Lewisboro Town Park. Father's Day and Juneteenth festivities were made sweeter with music and laughter in local parks. And at the end of June, the Lewisboro community came out to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, food, and family fun.
