A little rain couldn’t stop Greater Morristown from celebrating America’s birthday on Saturday.

The July 4 celebration moved into the Presbyterian Church, where Park Ranger Tom Winslow delivered the Declaration of Independence with his usual verve, assisted by Eric Olsen and re-enactors from the 2nd New Jersey Regiment, Helms Co.

Mayor Tim Dougherty said a few words, as did Leslie Bensley and Carol Barkin from the Morris Tourism Bureau.

And fortunately for us, Morristown Green contributor Bill Lescohier was there to capture these patriotic scenes
