Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and it's a time to remember all the men and women who served our country and those who gave their lives for our freedom.  

The Forestville Memorial Day Parade will be held on Sunday, May 26th at 2pm.  It will be a somber, and respectful time to show our appreciation to all of our veterans.  

Some of you have expressed your interest in walking in the parade. If anyone else would like to walk, let me know as soon as possible.  Call me, text me or respond to this email.  I need to give the American Legion a count by Friday.  

We can have vehicles and a flatbed truck in this parade but I would need the number of vehicles participating and their PROOF OF INSURANCE WILL BE REQUIRED.  We can put our BRTC banner on a flatbed but no campaign signs of any kind.  I would need all this information by Friday morning, at the latest.  If you have a convertible or a flatbed and want to drive it, let me know.  

You may wear red, white and blue.  You may wear your BRTC t-shirt or sweatshirt. NO CAMPAIGN SHIRTS OR SIGNS.  

You CANNOT THROW ANYTHING while WALKING OR RIDING to people watching the parade.

You will need to arrive by 12:30pm to line up for the parade.  

There will be a short ceremony at Quinlan Park at 1:30 and then the parade will begin.  The parade route will go over the bridge by Nuchies, past St. Matthews, by the Manross Library and will disperse at Cumberland Farms in Forestville center across from Simply Hair. 

Rain Date would be Monday, May 27th at 2pm.

The American Legion invites you all to attend their  POW/MIA Memorial dedication ceremony on Monday, May 27th at 12PM.
