Memorial Day activities, May 25

The traditional Memorial Day ceremony at Beaver Lodge Cemetery in Ekalaka will not be held this year in deference to COVID-19 restrictions.

Volunteers will, however, place the customary small American flags at veterans' gravestones on May 25, and the cemetery flag will be raised without ceremony at around noon on that day. Flags at the gravestones will be placed and later removed at times when the cemetery has few or no visitors.

People are asked to observe social distancing while visiting Beaver Lodge Cemetery.
