Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial  at 11:00 a.m. We are hoping to have a great turn-out as our community practices a Common-Sense Approach for marchers and viewers to Honor our Fallen Heroes. The last community parade was for St Patrick’s Day on March 14 2020 as the Pandemic was taking hold of the many changes we have experienced in our daily lives. This parade is a way of honoring our veterans, and celebrating the awakening of our community and country this summer. Please consider ways you can be involved with this Memorial Day community event.  Marchers. Floats. Business vehicles. Spectators.
