Memorial Day
Thank you to music teacher Ed Boynton who emailed about the Memorial Day in the northern part of Aroostook county.
Twenty members of THE VALLEY RIVERS MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND (Fort Kent) braved the cold, rain, and wind Sunday, May 26 to honor our Veterans in THE EAGLE LAKE MEMORIAL PARADE. All other parades in The Saint John Valley (Fort Kent, Madawaska, Van Buren) were cancelled due to the weather. The dedicated musicians played ODE TO FREEDOM (excerpt from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony) and LAND OF 1000 DANCES. The musicians were guests of the EAGLE LAKE AMERICAN LEGION after the parade for refreshments.
