State Senator Patty Ritchie recently joined community members to march in the 57th annual Seaway Festival Parade. 

Held in Ogdensburg, the parade featured a number of organizations and bands, including the Ogdensburg Free Academy Blue Devils Marching Band.  Recently, Senator Ritchie secured $20,000 to help the band purchase new uniforms.
