The public is invited to bring pictures of a family member, relative, friend or acquaintance who has passed away and was a veteran with them to the event. The parade will not reform but streets will remain blocked to allow safe foot traffic back to the Library.

Three finalists were considered for the scholarship. According to the trust committee, “All finalists had incredible academic and extracurricular activity records. These students are a wonderful tribute to our community and its school system.”
