Please join us in honoring Boothbay region’s dearly departed veterans this Memorial Day. Keeping with tradition, Boothbay region veterans are invited to join in marching with the veteran detachment during any of the six parade locations. The veteran detachment will be led by U.S.M.C. Barry Sherman. Uniforms are encouraged, but civies are welcome too. The Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce Trolley is a part of the parades, and will transport vets who are unable to march. The trolley will depart American Legion Post #36 at 7:40 a.m. sharp enroute to the first location. The Boothbay Region Community Band will be marching while providing music, and its drummers will help keep our “troops” in step. Veterans should be prepared to march/participate rain or shine. The Community Band and other participants decide whether or not to participate due to weather related issues.
