READFIELD — An event honoring all veterans will be held in Readfield beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11.
All are welcome to join in the event to honor those who have served or currently serve in the U.S. armed forces. It is being planned by the Readfield’s Historical Society, select board, United Methodist Church and the 3rd Maine Infantry Civil War re-enactors.
Participants should gather at the Readfield Corner Cemetery, Church Road, by 10 a.m. for a special remembrance of veterans whose memorials and graves are there. From the cemetery the 3rd Maine will lead the way to Asa Gile Hall, 8 Old Kents Hill Road, for a closing ceremony at 11 a.m. in honor of all veterans. All are invited to march along. Those who are not able to walk that far can follow in their vehicles.
The 3rd Maine will do two musket volleys along the way, at the cemetery and outside Gile Hall.
Following the ceremony, free bag lunches will be distributed by members of the Readfield United Methodist Church.
Invite and bring veterans you know. Parking is available at the Old Fairgrounds parking lot or in the north end of the cemetery.
