JACOBS LIVE # 2965
JESSICA JACOBS #2966
A true Celebration for Kingston today, when the gun went off, over 3,000 runners headed down Broadway. I was one proud Kingstonian to share in a day where so many people came together. I was proud to run in the rain with my daughter Jess because the spirit that was alive was breathtaking. I united with so many of my running partners that I ran many races with over the years. A special Thank you to the behind the scenes volunteers that make this wonderful day possible. Team Ireland Mr. Bob Ryan, Mr. Bob Nanz, Mr. Jim Kelly Smith, Bob Carey and many many more.
"Jacobs Live" also had the opportunity to walk with KAPA Channel 23 parade float near the end of the parade. KUDOS to the KAPA Commissioners Geri Brein and Mercedes Ross for raising the awareness of Kingston Area Public Access.
See you again next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, as always, you are out and about with your pulse on community events and actually participating in them. Hello out there. Where were the rest of the producers that should have walked right beside you representing Channel 23 Public Access? You are a true leader, a true warrior who is always visible. For the rest of the 30+ producers, shame on them for not showing their support along side you braving the weather. Kudos to Ms. Breen for her dedication and spirit to prove that public access is alive and well.
not to answer for the other producers/kapa affiliates, but the parade was a last minute announcement..we announced our participation at the monthly meeting thur march 11th in the evening, then sent out the mass email early friday-- Jack Sheeley was in the aoh float, clark ricters was filming the parade, Mercedes had to work, Marchetti was a corner watcher for traffic, Cahill also ran, Art Ricter had the conflict with his radio show, etc etc BUT__ we are going to be in the Memorial Day Parade as well so that announcement is definately ahead enough for planning to participate!
thank you
Geri Breen
KAPA Commissioner/parade float organizer
