Image Gallery: Inauguration of Burlington's Unofficial Mayor Al Fay

Patch readers and friends of Al Fay came out to the library last week for our inauguration ceremony.

Thank you to everyone who attended our presentation of a plaque for Burlington's Unofficial Mayor, as voted on by Patch readers, at the Burlington Public Library last week.

Join Us for Burlington's Unofficial Mayor Inauguration

Burlington Patch will be honoring Al Fay and all of the people who give back to the community with a short ceremony at the library this Wednesday.

Readers voted for him, pushed for him and then elected Al Fay Burlington's Unofficial Mayor. Now its time for the inauguration. Earlier this year Burlington Patch asked readers to nominate members of the community who made a difference and vote for an Unofficial Mayor. Mr. Fay received the most votes and in recognition of him, and all members of the community who volunteer to make a difference, we will be hosting a plaque-presenting ceremony and would love for you to come. The event will be this Wednesday, June 13 at 11 a.m. in the Burlington Public Library. We will say a few words about community participation, present the plaque and give Mr. Fay a chance to say a few words as the new Unofficial Mayor. Coffee and pastries will also be …
