NY State Assemblyman Karl Brabenec at St. Patrick’s Day Parade (圣帕特里克節遊行)，Mar16th, 2025

So I'm a New York State Assemblyman, Carl Brabeneck. I represent the 98th Assembly District in Western Orange County and also Northwestern Rockland County. And again, 98th District, that last name is B-R-A-B-E-N-E-C. And yeah, we're here at the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. This is, I believe, the 48th annual parade celebrating William Coffey, who's the Grand Marshal of this year's parade. It's always a wonderful event here in Goshen. Moved to Greenwood Lake for a little while, but then it came back to Goshen. We're glad to have it here. People are celebrating Irish culture and St. Patrick's Day and just having a wonderful time. The whole village comes out. People from all around Orange County come to see the parade. It's really a wonderful thing. And we look forward to marching in it every year. And that's why it's important to appreciate everybody's different cultures and customs. And it's just a wonderful thing that brings all Americans together and makes us the greatest country in the world. What's your message to the new Chinese community here? Yes, yes. We love you guys. We love you being in our community and we'd love to celebrate your culture as well. And we know that you have many, many events throughout the year that we participate in, but it is a wonderful thing. And we love to participate as much as we can.
