 Memorial Day Parade

The LeClair Kozlik Logan Bassett VFW Post 6342 will hold its annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday 27 May. We will step off from Brigidos Market at 10:30 am and march down Main Street. We will conduct a Memorial Ceremony in front of the old Town Hall at 11:00. After ceremony, we will continue down School Street and end at the Pavillion behind Lindy's in North Smithfield. The Scouts, the NS High School Band, Police and Fire Departments, Town officials, and Veterans will participate. Everyone is invited to attend. Following the end of the Parade there will be a free collation.

 

 

FEMA will be available to meet with residents at the Cumberland Library this month, daily from 8 am to noon. If you have already completed an inquiry regarding the rainstorms in December and January FEMA will be reaching out either by phone or door-to-door.

 

 

 

 

IS YOUR DOG LICENSED?
