Klarides-Ditria Issues Memorial Day Message/Parade Info


 
 
 
Memorial Day arrives this weekend, and it is a time to reflect on the service of those who answered our nation's call in times of armed conflict, and made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure future generations of Americans would remain free.
 
OBSERVANCES IN OUR TOWNS
 
BEACON FALLS: There will be a Memorial Day ceremony Sunday, May 28, at 10:00 a.m. outside of the firehouse along with representatives of the Post. All veterans are invited to attend. Post 25 will host a ceremony at Veteran’s Park at 12:30 p.m. on North Main Street along with local and state dignitaries.
 
DERBY: The Derby - Shelton Memorial Day Parade will begin Monday, May 29, at approximately 9:00 a.m. on Howe Avenue in Shelton, and conclude at the corner of Elizabeth Street and Cottage Street in Derby.
 
SEYMOUR: The Town of Seymour will hold its annual Memorial Day Parade on Sunday, May 28, rain or shine. Activities for the parade begin at the reviewing stand on Main Street at Bank Street in downtown Seymour beginning at 10:30 a.m. The band, Performing Artists, will perform there until 11:00 a.m. The parade steps off at 11:30 a.m. at French Memorial Park. The parade route will continue from the park to Route 67 west heading toward the downtown area. It will turn left onto Main Street past the reviewing stand and continue on Main Street to Broad Street, where it will turn right onto Broad Street, cross the Broad Street Bridge and disband at the Seymour Community Center on Pine Street. A shuttle bus will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the day of the parade from the Seymour Community Center (the ending point of the parade) to French Park (the beginning of the parade) for any participants in the parade.
 
I wish you and your family the best this Memorial Day weekend.
 
Sincerely,
 
State Representative Nicole Klarides-Ditria
