Memorial Day events planned in Pricetown

The annual Memorial Day activities in Pricetown will be held Monday, May 27. 

The march to Barker Cemetery will begin at the Pricetown Church at 10 a.m. Pricetown Church of Christ Senior Minister Daryl Mount will present the message in the Cemetery, and a selected veteran will be honored. 

Everyone will then return to the Pricetown Church for the annual program at 11 a.m. The program will feature patriotic songs, pledges to the flags, the Gettysburg Address, a keynote presentation and the honoring of all veterans. The traditional Quilts of Honor will also be presented. 

The keynote presentation will be given by Mr. Paul Worley. Mr. Worley was an Army Officer who earned the rank of Captain. He served two tours of duty in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. He has received numerous honors and decorations, and he is now the Economic Development Director for Adams County. 

Following the cemetery march and the church program, the annual community dinner will be served in the Church’s fellowship hall beginning at noon. The Pricetown Church of Christ provides this meal free to everyone. It will be served until at least 1 p.m.
