Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell left the parade route to greet Potsdam Mayor Ron Tischler during the summer festival parade in Potsdam parade. Prior to the parade, Assemblywoman Russell and her son, Aaron, geared up for their second of three parades on a very busy Saturday in the North Country. They sandwiched the Potsdam parade between the Can-Am parade in Sackets Harbor Saturday morning and the Hammond parade Saturday night. Assemblywoman Russell had high praise for the post-parade fried dough in Hammond.
