Much like all of the cities in Beaver County, the capital city of Beaver not only has a lengthy heritage when it comes to serving in the American military, but they’ll be honoring those who served for the first time in over a year on May 31.

Chuck Snitger of the Beaver Heritage Foundation spoke with Matt Drzik about the 2021 Memorial Day festivities, kicking off with the parade starting at 10:30 AM on the nose. The Beaver High School JROTC, the Beaver Marching Band, and all participating military personnel will be part of the parade (they are asking those participating to arrive by 10 AM).

After the parade, there will be a special ceremony at Beaver Cemetery, featuring performances by the Beaver Marching Band & Choir, a recital of the Gettysburg Address by the senior class president, and keynote speaker Thomas Equels. Following the ceremony, there will be a luncheon provided by the Fort McIntosh Foundation.
