On 6/18, thanks to the silent auction at the Chatsworth parents’ night, Blaine had the honor of joining Mayor Walsh as mayor of Larchmont for the day.

He started the day with tours of the Village hall, police station (including jail cells!) and the fire station.

Then we went for dinner at Polpettina, and then headed back to the Village Hall for the board meeting that evening.  Blaine had a seat at the table right next to the mayor!

He got to lead everyone in the pledge.

Then he helped give awards to two sophomores from the high school who just won the state championship in tennis.

After that was the swearing in of officers of the volunteer firefighters!

Lastly, Mayor Walsh gave Blaine a certificate to remember the day.

I believe the meeting was televised on local television, and that we could find it somewhere online.  I haven’t yet tried to find it, though!  Blaine was bragging about being on television for days.  He was also thrilled when his photo showed up in our local newspaper a few weeks later!
