Things To Do This Memorial Day in Lenawee County

If you are doing the happy dance because you have a three day weekend...keep dancing while you read (just don't hurt yourself).  Whether you are camping, barbecuing or just relaxing - enjoy it, because it's Memorial Day weekend.  While enjoying it take a moment to remember those brave soles who have gone before us in the name of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  I am so thankful for the sacrifices all those who have served or are serving in our military have made.  They are truly the heart of the United States of America.

If you are not going anywhere this weekend or you are planning an extravagant stay-cation there are some great things to do right here in Lenawee County.  Including the following parades on Monday:

• City of Adrian will start at 11:00am at the National Guard Armory and head down Maumee to Monument Park (by the post office).  If you are planning on being in the parade the line-up starts at 10:30am.  Also in the city of Adrian there will be a ceremony on the Maumee Street bridge at 10:15am presented by the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary to honor those lost at sea.
• Blissfield parade starts at 11:00am at the post office on South Lane Street.
• Britton parade begins at 9:00am at the Britton-Deerfield High School.  Due to construction the parade route is to follow down Church Street to M-50 and then to South Main and College Avenue.
• Brooklyn parade starts at 10am along North Main Street and will proceed to circle the village square.  If you plan on being in the parade the line-up starts at 9:30am on School Street.
• Clinton parade begins at 10:00am and travels down Currier St to US-12.  There will be a rifle salute at Veteran's Memorial Park and then the parade will proceed to Riverside Cemetery where there will be another rifle salute and remarks by Pastor Bob Riddle.
• Fairfield Township parade starts at 9:00am at the Weston Methodist Church and will travel through town to the Weston Cemetery.
• Hudson parades begins at 10:00am on Main St and then North Maple Grove ending at Maple Grove Cemetery.  Line-up starts at 9:00am along Lane Street, if interested.
• Morenci parades starts at 10:00am at Wakefield Parks and proceeds to the Oak Grove Cemetery.
• Onsted parade begins at 11:20am with a flyover of A-10 Warthogs, how cool is that?  It will then proceed down Main Street to Maple Shade Cemetery.
• Tecumseh parade starts at 10:00am on North Maumee and will then head west on Chicago Boulevard to Union Street and then north to Brookside Cemetery.

Whew, that's a lot of parade actin people.  The best part about the parades...they're free and kids love them!  Those are two things any parent can appreciate.  If you don't have kids you can still enjoy the free parade entertainment (no minimum age required : D).

There is lots of other things going on in conjunction with these parades or after they end too.  For example, there is a free luncheon at the Onsted American Legion at 1:00pm.  Heck, let someone do your grilling and enjoy a chicken barbecue and softball tournament in Morenci.  There is an all-you-can eat pancake breakfast in the fire hall in Weston starting at 7:00am (children 5 and under eat free!).  There is another flyover of World War II planes in Deerfield at 10:30am.  The flyovers are so neat!

So whatever your plans, enjoy, relax and reflect this weekend and  have a Happy Memorial Day!
