The Remembrance Day service took place on a bright sunny Nov. 11, after the first snow of the season covered everything with a white blanket of snow.
Attendance was plentiful, with about 120 families and individuals following the procession from the parking lot to Legion Park, where more people joined the ceremony.
After the ceremony, everybody was invited to enjoy lunch served by the Ladies Auxiliary, while listening to some delightful musical entertainment.
