This year’s Memorial Day Parade in Orange is canceled due to the weather and this is the second year in a row the parade won’t wind down the street. Earlier.
Community members came together across Connecticut this Memorial Day weekend to honor and remember veterans who are no longer with us. The Town of Orange had to cancel its annual parade due to the rainy weather, but they still found a way to hold a special ceremony Sunday. The town moved the event inside the High Plains Community Center to honor local veterans who are no longer with us. The ceremony included a salute, wreath-laying and a reading.

Helping to feed the hungry in Orange
Volunteers from Congregation Or Sholom in Orange helped make the first annual “Pop The Trunk” food drive on Sunday, Dec. 6 a huge success. Organized by the Orange Clergy Thanksgiving Appeal and held at the High Plains Community Center, the drive-by event collected donations of food and paper goods for the Orange Food Pantry. Volunteers from Or Sholom and other organizations helped unload cars overflowing with canned fruits, vegetables and tuna, boxes of cereal, pasta and rice, jars of peanut butter and jam and huge quantities of toilet paper and paper towels. Some of the volunteers reportedly arrived with wheel barrows, which came in handy!
