Boundary County Memorial Day, 2015:
Stories and photos (and a video) |
|
May 27, 2015 |
The day started off cloudy and a little rainy,
but by the time the Boundary County Memorial Day
Parade 2015 rolled down Main Street in Bonners
Ferry, the weather was holding for a great
parade. The parade was followed by a special
Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony held at
Grandview Cemetery.
The parade featured veterans, Scouts, 4-H clubs,
tractors, big trucks, antique automobiles,
horses, our local Distinguished Young Women, and
others. Hundreds of people lined the sidewalks
downtown to enjoy the parade.

At Grandview Cemetery following the parade, a
special ceremony was held remembering and paying
tribute to veterans. Brief addresses were
delivered by Jonathan Snyder of the Boy Scouts,
Distinguished Young Woman 2015 Shaleyna Higgins,
and by former Bonners Ferry Chief of Police
Robert Boone. The names of Boundary County
veterans who have passed away during the past
year were read aloud. The ceremony ended with a
21-gun salute.
For those who may have missed seeing the parade
or the ceremony at the cemetery, you can see a
