The Weatherly American Legion Post 360 and its Auxiliary Unit are set to honor Veterans Day on November 11 with a series of commemorative events aimed at supporting local veterans. The observance will begin with a program at the Weatherly Area School District at 9 a.m., followed by a ceremony at the memorial monument located in front of Schwab High School on East Main and Spring Streets at 11 a.m.
This annual celebration reflects the community’s commitment to honoring those who have served in the armed forces. The ceremony will include remarks and tributes to veterans, highlighting their sacrifices and contributions to the nation.
Following the ceremony, attendees are invited to participate in the “Extravaganza of Prizes” drawing, scheduled for noon at the American Legion Post Home. This event features a variety of prizes, including gift cards, cash awards, and themed baskets, all generously donated by local businesses and members of the American Legion family.
