CedarFest Activities
August 30 – September 1, 2008

The American Legion Post #544 and the Cedarville Area Chamber of Commerce would like to invite all Veterans and our active and Reserve military members to participate in the Memorial Day weekend parade and to attend the ceremony at the North Cemetery. The parade will be held on Saturday, May 24, 10:00 a.m. Mr. Bucks Braun, WBZI, is the guest speaker for the ceremony.

Come and join us in honoring our fallen heroes! Formation of the parade will commence at the Cedarville Community Park at 9:30 a.m., with the parade starting at 10:00 a.m. The parade will go south on East Street, turn right on Main Street, and proceed to the North Cemetery for the ceremony. If you don’t want to walk in the parade, bring your flags and help us line the streets to honor our heroes. If you would like to participate and are unable to walk, please come anyway, as the Corvette Club from Springfield has volunteered to drive our military participants in the parade. If we run out of corvettes, other transportation will be provided.

The Cedarville Police Department will lead the parade, followed by the Air National Guard Honor Guard from Springfield; Civil Air Patrol Honor Guard and Cadets, the Cedarville High School Marching Band, Mom to Mom Group, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, the Cedarville Fire Department, and our local T-Ball teams, just to name a few.

The Greene County Women’s Hall of Fame is currently seeking nominations.

This year’s Recognition Day luncheon will be held Saturday, September 27, 2008 at Walnut Grove Country Club.

The Greene County Women’s Recognition Day and Hall of Fame was organized in March 1981 to annually honor women of Greene County , living or deceased, who have contributed to the county’s growth and progress. Achievement for recognition may be in the arts, humanities, business, industry, agriculture, health, government, politics, sports, education, homemaking, the media, volunteer activities, distinguished personal achievements or any other specific areas.
