RUMFORD — Napoleon Ouellette American Legion Post 24 will hold a parade and ceremonies to mark Memorial Day on May 25.
Member Kirk Thurston said the Legion is inviting all area veterans to participate in the parade. “Rides will be provided if you do not want to walk the parade route,” he said.
Organizers are also looking for military vehicles to be in the parade.
The parade will begin at 10 a.m. at the American Legion Hall parking lot across from Rite-Aid and proceed onto Portland Street, cross the Memorial Bridge to the Rotary Green and head down Rumford Avenue. From there, the procession will proceed to Waldo Street and onto Lincoln Avenue to the Memorial Green in Mexico.
After the parade, Post 24 will host an open house and provide refreshments for children participating in the parade.
If it rains, the ceremony would be in the American Legion Hall in Rumford.
Those interested in participating in the parade can call Thurston at 207-369-0831 or leave a message at the American Legion Hall at 207-369-9053.
