Columbus Day - Celebrate America!

Head over Hudson Park today in honor of Columbus Day. Starting at 3pm , meet fellow New Rochelleans and  parade marchers, as they celebrate the man who "discovered America".  Now I will not get into the controversy that claims Columbus was not responsible for the discovery- I will leave that to historians. Drive,walk or ride your bike over to Hudson park, because the Pinta, Nina and  Maria are in the shop for repairs.

The explorer Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he accidentally stumbled upon the Americas in 1492.
