Keyport Wants You … To March
At Second Annual Memorial Day Parade

KEYPORT, N.J. – The Keyport Business Alliance is seeking additional participants to join its second annual Memorial Day Parade, set for 1 p.m. Sunday, May 25. Marchers and floats will wind their way through the historic borough, ending at the Mini Park on American Legion Drive.

Kathaleen Shaw, advocate for the KBA, invites school and civic organizations and bands, scout troops, clubs and other participants to join the growing number of groups assembled for the parade. She said the event will be a tribute to Main Street America, with a renewed focus on patriotism.

“Now, more than ever,” Shaw said, “we need to come together as one American community and remember the soldiers – our country’s true heroes — who gave their lives defending the ideals of liberty and freedom-loving people throughout the world.”

The Keyport Business Alliance is working with Cathy Armstrong, events manager at Allen Consulting in Holmdel, N.J., to plan the parade and line up marching units.

Groups or individuals interested in participating or volunteering during the parade may contact Armstrong at 732-946-2711 or by e-mail at events@allenconsulting.com for additional information.
