Community Connect this week is all about our veterans and service members. Monday, May 30th is Memorial Day, where we mourn members of the military who died while serving our country.
The city starts its observance of the holiday today at 11 am with a wreath-laying ceremony at Daley Center then the annual Memorial Day Parade begins at noon down State Street between Lake and Van Buren.
This is also a time that communities recognize the contributions of veterans and active-duty servicemen and women… many restaurants and stores are offering deals throughout the weekend to show their appreciation. Check out all the deals here.
Have a good Memorial Day weekend and remember the reason for the holiday, too! 🇺🇸
