Annual Parade Will Honor Those Who Gave Their Lives

Parade will head up Valley Road, end at municipal building.

The township’s annual Memorial Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Monday. The parade will start out on Ratzer Road, head up to Valley Road, and end at the municipal building. The parade is expected to conclude at noon. Wreathes in rememberance of those veterans who died while serving were placed at the firemen’s memorial in front of town hall during a ceremony at last year's parade. Residents lined Valley Road and waved American flags as the Wayne Valley High School marching band, the American Legion Post 174, the Police Athletic League, and local Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts walked in the parade last year. It is not known what local organizations or individuals will be featured in the parade this year.
