I missed the 2008 Worthington Memorial Day Parade. For years we were in the parade... HER Realtors® Worthington Office now known as Real Living HER Worthington would walk in the parade, throw candy (lotsa candy) and we had the HER Realtors® Caliope in the parade... sometimes Herley the Bear the company mascot would be in the parade.
After the parade Monday there is a ceremony on the mound in the Walnut Grove Cemetery.
Sunday graves of veterans will be decorated at two local cemeteries by members of the American Legion.
Monday morning at 6 AM there is a service on the Village Green where the flag is lowered to half staff and a canon is fired. According to the This Week Community News article written by Candy Brooks: " The ceremony is repeated at St. John, Flint, Resurrection, and Kingwood cemeteries, the Worthington fire station, the Sharon Township Memorial building and the Post 239 home at 700 Morning St."
