Volunteers, residents and Town Officials gathered in a “Social Distancing” parade to celebrate the birthdays of two young Cicero children on Monday, 6-year-old Angel Herrera and 15-year-old Cara Cundari. Angel’s parents, Efrain and Araceli Herrera, and Cara’s parents, Emilio and Melissa Cundari, said they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for their children whose birthday celebrations have been interrupted by the Coronavirus restrictions. Both parades were held Monday afternoon. “When I heard about these birthdays, I felt very bad and was happy to help when the parents contacted several Town representatives,” said Town President Larry Dominick who celebrated his own birthday last week in his home with his immediate family. “As an adult, we can celebrate our birthdays anytime and in any way. But for young people like Angel Herrera and Cara Cundari, a birthday celebration is so important.” Dominick said that similar parades have been organized for other children in the Town. Family members and officials dropped birthday gifts off in front of the homes as they passed the home. Firefighters in full face masks and coronavirus protections took the gifts from passersby and presented them to the family.
