CROWN POINT Ñ Crown Point has observed Memorial Day for 145 years, but the 2013 festivities will mark an even bigger anniversary. Crown Point is celebrating the 225th year of its founding. Ò We are hoping to make this yearÕ s event deserving of 225 years of heritage,Ó said Jodi Gibbs, chairwoman of the Crown Point Memorial Day committee. Ò To do this, we are inviting all individuals, businesses, church and school groups to enter a float in our parade. We invite everyone to come out and help us commemorate this momentous occasion. It isnÕ t every day that you get to recognize 225 years.Ó The traditional parade will highlight the two-day Memorial Day observance. The parade will be at 2 p.m. Monday, May 27. Anyone wishing to be in the parade should contact Gibbs by calling 597-3492. An ecumenical church service at the bandstand in Veterans Park will kick off the Memorial Day activities at 11 a.m. Sunday, May 26.
