Here is a rundown of the morning’s events:
The Blaine Glee Club/Girl Scouts/Campfire will sing the National Anthem at 10am, and the Boy/Cub Scouts will present the Colors at 10am & 11am.? Makenna Ertell will sing the National Anthem at 11am, and Schuyler Lubin will play Taps at 11am. Many students will help put flags in the village and make cards for veterans before the services.

You are welcomed to park at the cemetery, and parking is also available at?the Visitors Center (on the left side of the road approximately 150 yards in the park). There is a short walk up the hill to the cemetery for those that park at the Visitors Center.
