I received the following text message at 7:56 AM today (Sunday) from Russell Fowler, the Noank Memorial Day Parade and Picnic Chairman, representing the American Legion Post # 115.....
"Ed, I just spoke with Commander Bill Grundy. He has asked me to cancel our Parade and Picnic. With great regret and concern for the public welfare, he has decided (based on the 1.5 to 2" of forecasted rain for Monday) to cancel this year's (Noank) Memorial Day & Picnic.
American Legion Post # 115 wishes to thank deeply all those people and organizations who have contributed so generously to this effort."
