Mountville VFW To Host Memorial Day Parade By Dayna M. Reidenouer
When discussing the Mountville VFW Memorial Day Parade recently, Reese-Hall Mountville VFW Post 8757 commander Bob Froelich was not sure at first if the parade that will be held on Saturday, May 25, should bear his organization’s name. Parade coordinator Beth Hess, however, insisted that the name is correct. “You fund it. You make sure it happens, and it’s to remember the veterans,” Hess pointed out to Froelich. At that, Froelich agreed, noting that the VFW honor guard will lead the
parade when it steps off at 10 a.m. from the Mountville Area Community Center at the intersection of College Avenue and Clay Street. The parade will travel down College and along Main Street, concluding at Froelich Park, 350 W. Main St., Mountville. Following the honor guard will be military veterans and members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Transportation will be provided for those who need it by the Rivertowne Trolley. The VFW auxiliary will be represented with a float. The Kiltie Band of York will also be positioned at the head of the queue. See Memorial Day Parade pg 2
