Parades are scheduled for Tariffville (step-off at 9 AM) and Simsbury (step-off at 1:30 PM) on Monday, May 26. Veterans of all conflicts, from all countries, from all services are urged to join this year’s parades or make other contributions.
The hope is that more Veterans will join the parades either as
marchers or as riders. It is especially important that those Veterans who wish
to ride in a classic car, rather than march, sign up for the Simsbury parade soon.
Veterans who wish to be riders should call Ray Jennings at 860-658-1034
or Hap Poole at 860-658-4390. Any organizations wishing to join the parade
must make arrangements with parade co-chairman Bob Gauthier at 860-658-2071.
