This is the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine website.
I typed in kingston4thofjuly.com and the years where there are snapshots of the website showed on the bar graph.
Then I clicked on a year (2018), then on one of the blue dots below (I chose June 30). Each of the blue dots (only one shown here is on March 7) represents a screenshot that was taken of the website.
This is a screenshot of the 2018 website.
Unfortunately, there are no mentions of the
Grand Marshal or Person of the Year
