New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be leading the Ridgewood Fourth of July Parade, sources tell Patch.
According to two village officials, the Republican governor will be making a brief speech during the flag raising portion of the ceremony in the morning.
A Christie spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
The governor's addition to the annual parade shouldn't come as much of a surprise – he arrives in town on July 3 for a Republican fundraiser at the iconic Bank of America Building on East Ridgewood Avenue.
