You are cordially invited to attend Cheshire's Memorial Day Parade on Sunday May 30th 2010. Held by the Veterans Council of Cheshire, this year, the parade will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War.

Starting at Highland Elementary School, the 2 mile long parade runs through Route 10 all the way to Cheshire High School.

We often celebrate holidays without knowing exactly what it is we are celebrating. Of course Memorial Day is known as the unofficial start to summer. A time for family gatherings, barbeques, picnics and sporting events, it really is a wonderful time to bring the Cheshire community together metaphorically shouting "Summer is here!" But it is always nice to have a reminder as to why we celebrate Memorial Day - to celecommemorate U.S. men and women who died while serving the military.

If you are interested in being a part of this year's parade, or would like to enter a float, please call 203.272.2743. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30am to 4:00pm. The deadline to register is May 21st.
