EPHRATA There was a pretty good turnout Saturday for the annual Veterans Day Parade in Ephrata, organizers said.
“We probably had about 100 people in the parade,” said Mike Montaney, who added he’s been the parade chairman for 25 years. “We only had about half a dozen veterans actually marching in the parade as a group of veterans. We had (about) 30 Civil Air Patrol and some Scouts and a (veterans motorcycle club).”
EPHRATA Kimberly Thomas, commander of American Legion Post 28 in Ephrata, and the auxiliary president Mardi Carroll read off the names of the people commemorated in the Aisle of Flags set up to commemorate Memorial Day.
“For those of you who weren’t counting, there were 120 of them,” said former Post 28 commander Mike Montaney when the two women had finished.
