MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, 2021 – what a difference a year makes, right? As today’s cover story notes, all indications are for an incredibly busy summer. Now, if we can just find the staff to handle the onslaught!
Also, in addition to the roundup of Memorial Day observances in this edition, a brief ceremony will be held 8 a.m. Monday in Madison at Lyman Cemetery off High Street followed by services at 9 a.m. at the Gilman Cemetery off East Madison Road. After that a parade will go from Gilman Cemetery to the Madison Veterans Memorial starting at about 9:15 a.m., followed by a short wreath-laying ceremony. A pancake breakfast will follow at Madison Fire Station.
