Goshen, N.Y.—Goshen’s 34th annual Great American Weekend benefitted from sun on Sunday, July 5, but even Independence Day’s rain didn’t deter some diehards from coming out to watch the races, shop at the vendor stalls, listen to the music, and enjoy the food.
“Even yesterday in the rain we had hundreds of people,” said Goshen Mayor Kyle Roddey who was there both days.
Every year the two-day Independence Day celebration gains a little more recognition, said 25-year organizer Ray Quattrini, and this year was no exception.
“As the event has gotten bigger, the sponsorship of the different organizations—they see the benefit of it. Ten years ago we used to be at about $10,000-$15,000 and now we’re approaching $30,000 in sponsorship.”
