2013 Veterans Day Parade
2013 Veterans Day Parade

A military transport vehicle represented the Lewis County Veterans Memorial Museum during the Lewis County Veterans Day Parade in Toledo Saturday. The second year held in Toledo, the parade was originally established in 2009 by local community member April Pennington as a way to honor area members of the military, both past and present. Pennington Farey has since been joined by a number of volunteers and Veterans’ groups, and the parade has not incorporated the Veterans Wall of Honor recently established at Kemp Olson Memorial Park, in Toledo. Those interested in helping to plan and/or participate in future parades can visit www.lewiscountyveteransparade.com.
