Monday May 27 is Memorial Day. Join with your neighbors in celebrating, remembering and honoring our soldiers.
The observance of this day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with the laying of a wreath at the Victory Corners Monument at the intersection of King Street and Bedford Road, across from the Chappaqua Fire Department. If weather conditions cause you to wonder whether the parade is still on, call the Rec Department hotline at 238-2540, after 9:30 a.m. Only if it is cancelled will there be an announcement on the tape.
