Memorial Weekend activities in county

A ceremony Saturday at Blackford Veterans Memorial and Walk of Honor drew more than three dozen
to celebrate America's fallen heroes. 

On Monday, there will be a 10am service at Mapleview Cemetery at the Veterans Memorial and there was one this morning at Burna's American Legion. Cave In Rock is hosting a 2pm Memorial Day ceremony.

A group of early American re-enactors performed at the Blackford ceremony where Circuit Judge Rene Williams gave the keynote address. 

"It was one of the best Memorial Day speeches I have ever heard," said Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom.
