SALINA, KAN. -
Veteran events keep coming this weekend, with a parade Saturday at nine. It's downtown on Santa Fe from Elm to South street.
Jennifer Gunelson with Interim Health Care of Salina says, "This is our fifth year. The team got together to say let's honor veterans in a big way a few years ago."
"We are trying to make it bigger and bigger each year."
"We have over 40 entries this year so it's exciting. Everyone will line up at South and Elm and it starts at nine. We do have the 35th infantry division band members who will be here from across Kansas. They will play starting at 8:30."
"We have a lot of antique vehicles. They just dedicated a new memorial in Sunset Park, so there will be floats in the parade along that submarine theme."
"Isis Shrine will be there. It's just our way to support all of the veterans. We are just the ones hosting it so we can have a parade. Show veterans we honor their sacrifice."
If anybody wants to be in the parade they can still make that happen. Call Jennifer Gunelson ahead of time to set it up. There is a form you can fill out.
Jennifer's number is 785-829-1118
"You can jump in line Saturday morning. It's not too late to get in an honor veterans and service."
