A Veteransâ Day ceremony will be held at 11 am on Thursday, November 11 at Veteransâ Park, on the corner of Mile Hill Road and Route 25, by members of the Charles H. Peck, Sr and Jr and Eric G. Blantin VFW Post 308.
According to VFW spokesman Donald Monckton, the ceremony has been moved from its usual location at the monument at the top of Main Street because of parking and noise problems. A short ceremony will be held at that monument by the VFW earlier on Veteransâ Day. The public ceremony will take place at the park next to the post on Tinkerfield Road where ample parking is available.
Coffee and cake will be served after the ceremony at the VFW hall. The public is invited to attend.
Town offices will be closed on Veteransâ Day. The transfer station at the former landfill will be closed. The Booth Library and the Senior Center also will be closed.
The schools will be closed.
The offices of The Bee will be open.
