AMESBURY — The Amesbury Veterans Day Parade will be held Monday, Nov. 12, starting at 10 a.m.
All those marching are requested to muster in front of the Fire Department on School Street by 9:30 a.m.
The procession will begin at 10, proceeding down Main Street to Amesbury Middle School in front of the Dough Boy monument. Small flags will be provided to the youth who are marching as well as along the parade route.
