Oil City’s annual Veterans Day observance is planned Friday.
The Oil City VFW is in charge of the program this year, and Friday’s event will begin with the annual Veterans Day parade downtown at 10:30 a.m., weather permitting.
The small parade will consist of the VETS Honor Guard, the Oil City High School marching band and area veterans, VFW commander Carl Sargent said.
The Veterans Day service will then begin at 11 a.m. outside the VFW post. In the event of inclement weather, the parade won’t take place and the service will be moved inside the VFW.
Students plan program
Seventh Street Elementary School students will present a veterans music program called “We Honor The Brave” at the Justus Park bandshell from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. Friday prior to the parade.
The school has invited all veterans and their families to attend the program, and attendees are asked to bring a lawn chair.
