WAYNE — Activities are set for this year’s Memorial Day service Monday, May 29, which includes Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment Voluntary Infantry (Civil War re-enactors), participating in the observance. The Memorial Day committee has been working with the 3rd Maine and Maranacook High and Middle schools’ bands to create an appropriate reflection and observance. The guest speaker is Steven Woodsum, United States Navy Veteran.
Here is the schedule of events:
* 10:30 a.m. — Veterans, boys, girls, scouts and anyone with a focus on honoring our veterans should assemble at the Wayne Community Church’s parking lot, 22 Old Winthrop Road.
* 11 a.m. — The different groupings will leave the parking lot and proceed down Main Street to Pond Road and back to the veterans’ memorial stone on Pocasset Lake, where a wreath-laying ceremony will take place. Then the parade will move to the Veterans Memorial Park, where the formal program will continue. If it rains, services will be at the Ladd Center at 11 a.m.
* Noon to 2 p.m. — “A Salute to Wayne Veterans” exhibit at The Williams House, 14 Old Winthrop Road, across from the library.
Transportation will be provided for any veterans who need a ride in the parade. Anyone interested in providing veterans a ride in your vehicle, please contact David Ault (207-685-4578).
All veterans are urged to participate in the parade as a tribute to men and women of the town who have served in different branches of the services in the past.
