It is that time again for the Elkins Veterans Day Parade, which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1a.
Assembly time starts at 11:30 a.m., and jump-off time is 1 p.m. The assembly area is south of the tracks along Davis Avenue.
The parade route will be from Southern States north along Davis Avenue, through downtown Elkins to Sixth Street, where we turn left between Walgreen's and The Inter-Mountain offices.
Turn left again at Railroad Avenue/Veterans Way and conclude at the Welcome Center Depot area for dispersal.
And now the biggest problem to solve is the need for volunteers or volunteer groups who can act as road guards along the route, closing and opening the cross streets. If anyone or group(s) would be so kind as to do this major job, it would be truly appreciated.
The point of contact for all things for the parade is Mike Cardinal, Adjutant of American Legion Post 29 of Elkins. His phone number is 304-614-6338. He can receive calls or texts. If you don't get to talk to him, please leave a message, he will call you back.
Thank you all for you consideration in support of this and our veterans and veteran families.
