Entries sought for Veterans Parade

Entries are being sought for the annual Veterans parade planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, according to Kenneth Craig, senior vice-commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 8109, Pea Ridge.

Craig said he would like to see horses and a horse club participate in the parade as well as any businesses that want to prepare a float to honor veterans.
