Auburn
Saturday: At noon, the American Legion Post and the Chester P. Tuttle Post 279, escorted by the Auburn Police Department., will conduct a salute at all 13 veterans squares in town, starting with the first salute and wreath placement at Tuttle Square.
894 flags were put in the cemeteries on all of the grave markers for their fallen veterans.
There will be no parade and events on Sunday and Monday, said Town Manager Julie Jacobson.
“The parade and other events had been cancelled due to COVID restrictions, so even with the changes announced last week by the state, it was too late to plan any additional events,” Jacobson said.
