Commemorating the Fourth of July-Gregory style

Gregory’s 2021 4th of July events were in memory of 15-year-old Talan Tolliver. Talan passed away at home on May 26, 2021, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He lived in Gregory his entire life and was an inspiration to all. In 2017, Talan had the honor of singing the national anthem to start the parade.

And what would the parade be without horses?
Tractors, tractors, and more tractors- old, older, and oldest yet.
Cars are always attention-getters. This year is no different.
Care to guess the top speed for this car?
Who better to mind the home fires? Unadilla Township firefighters work up a sweat cooking chicken for hungry patrons.
