Several events are planned in Carroll County in observance of Veterans Day on Saturday, Nov. 11, including a parade in downtown Berryville at 2 p.m. that day.
The parade is a joint effort of American Legion Post 9 in Eureka Springs, the Veterans of Foreign Ward and the nonprofit organization RECON- VI.
“We’ve got some floats coming,” said Post 9 commander Tom Mischo. “Police are going to be there. The fire department is coming in and a bunch of veterans groups. The Daughters of the American Revolution are going to be there. American Legion riders are coming, and some Blue Knights, too. The Army’s going to bring a truck and I think the Air Force is coming.”
