May 20, 2012 |
American Legion Boundary Post 55 is pleased to
once again sponsor Bonners Ferry’s annual
Memorial Day Parade onMonday, May 28. “Service
to Country” is the theme of this year’s event.
The parade will begin from Boundary County
Fairgrounds at promptly 10 a.m. All participants
are asked to begin staging at the Fairgrounds by
9:30 a.m.
This year’s parade route will proceed from the
Fairgrounds past Riverside Auto to Main Street,
then south on Main to Railroad Street.
All motorized units are then asked to exit to US
95 if possible and not return to the
Fairgrounds. The City of Bonners Ferry has
requested that parade participants refrain from
throwing candy. If anyone wants to do so, please
walk the parade route and hand out candy as you
make your way through town.
The annual Memorial Day Service at Grandview
Cemetery immediately follows the parade,
beginning as soon as all those involved in the
service can make their way up to the cemetery.
American Legion members will be placing flags on
all veterans’ graves Friday, May 25, starting at
5 p.m. at Grandview Cemetery. The public is
cordially invited to join Legion members in that
undertaking.
This is an excellent opportunity for young
people to become aware of just how many men and
women from Boundary County have served our
country in the military. |
