The Rochester Memorial Day Committee invites the public to join Rochester’s 147th Memorial Day Observance on Monday, May 27.
Since 1866, Rochester has been honoring the brave service men and women who unselfishly gave their lives to keep our great nation free.
The parade will start at about 1:30 p.m. (based on the arrival of the Essman-Schroeder color guard, to lead the parade).
The parade will start at the firehouse on Highway FF, then turn left on Spring Street and right on Main Street, ending at the park on the corner of Front Street and Highway W.
There will be a program in Pioneer Park following the parade which, in case of rain, will be held in the old Village Hall on Main street.
No parking is allowed along the parade route. A limited amount of handicapped parking will be available at Community State Bank.
Any questions, please call (262) 534-5344.
Also on Memorial Day, May 27, Jeff “Doc” Dentice will host his 16th annual Balloon Launch at the Wind Lake Veterans Memorial Park, 7922 S. Loomis Road.
The balloons represent all of America’s POW/MIA’S from all wars. Ceremonies begin at 2:45 p.m. Veterans Park is open from noon to 6 p.m. The launch preparations begin at 10 a.m.
