Memorial Day to be marked Monday with car parade through Gilbertsville.

Memorial Day ceremonies will have a different look in the area than in previous years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But the message of honoring veterans, active duty members, doctors, nurses, High School Seniors remains the same.

In lieu of a large public gathering with a keynote speaker, Gilbertsville has plans for a short classic vehicle parade route through the village starting  9:00am on Monday, at the Gilbertsville School, all while keeping social distance and enjoying the parade from your front yard.

I personally want to thank Thunder Musson for organizing this event.  "I still wanted to have something,  to show that we haven’t forgot about veterans and doctors, nurses, and High School Seniors, and all the essential workers who work so hard through this pandemic."

So please enjoy this great day from your front yard and remember to keep social distance.
