Please join us in celebrating Veterans and the 125th anniversary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars: Still Serving – 125 Years of Advocacy. The parade will start at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 9th.

This year’s Grand Marshall will be Ken Wentworth. Ken is a WW2 and Korean war Veteran. He has the distinction of having participated in both D-Day in the European theater and L-Day (allied invasion of Okinawa) in the Pacific.

This year we plan on having a center stage for the event near our Post Home located on Douglas between 3rd Street & 4th Street. The Master of Ceremonies will be co-hosted by Rick & Carl of the Del Fuego Brothers. They will be announcing parade participants, providing commentary, and awarding prizes.

The VFW Auxiliary will be providing a free Ham & Bean lunch following the parade from approximately 12:45-2:30 (at 329 SE Douglas Street).

From Douglas Street it will turn left onto Third Street and then right onto SE Main Street ending at SE Second Street.
