Veterans Day Parade Coming Back to Lake Worth

The Veterans Day Parade is coming back to Lake Worth this year, with the city commission allocating $8,00 to fund it, and a committee of citizens forming to help organize it.

The parade will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, the day before the official Veterans Day on November 11, and will be followed by an event at 3:30 p.m. in the Cultural Plaza in Lake Worth's downtown with speakers honoring the sacifices local veterans have made in serving their country.

Parade organizers are looking to contact all local veterans, in order to include them in the parade and ceremony. Vets are asked to call Juan Ruiz of the city of Lake Worth at (561) 493-2559.

Local businesses are also asked to help in funding the total cost of the parade, which is expected to exceed the $8,000 allocated by the city. Call the city if you think you can help with an in-kind or monetary donation.

And...Can anyone help fund the cost of 1,000 little American flags to pass out to parade participants and spectators? They're only 17 cents a piece. Call Juan Ruiz at (561) 493-2559 if you can!
