Participants are being sought for the first Veterans Celebration Parade on Saturday, Nov. 6.
The parade will line up at the intersection of North Broad and East Washington streets, the parade’s starting point, and proceed along Broad Street, turn left onto Remington Avenue and follow Crawford Street back to East Washington.
