Avon Memorial Day Parade

The Avon Businessmen’s Association is planning the annual Memorial Day Parade. Linda Hammargren and Stephanie McKinley-Miller are in the process of organizing the annual event. The parade will start off at 11:00a.m. and proceed to the cemetery for the Roll Call of the Dead. There will be transportation for those Veterans wishing to ride in the parade. There will also be hayracks at the cemetery to bring parade walkers back to the Fire House. Those parade marchers who return their flags will receive a certificate for ice cream at Just Not Another Dip. We want to make sure that the roll call is up to date. If you have a loved one who was buried at the cemetery since Memorial Day 2025, please contact Stephanie McKinley-Miller at [email protected] with the name and when he/she served. We try to keep up to date on names, and do not want to miss anyone. In case of rain, the ceremony will be hold at the fire station.

The Avon Fire Department is having their annual porkchop/ hotdog meal fundraiser. The Avon Methodist Church a member of the Global Methodist Church will have desserts available. Please support both worthy efforts.

A HUGE thanks to the Avon area community and businesses for supporting our exhibitors again this year. Saturday night we sold 15 steers at a total weight of 20,120 pounds. The AVERAGE sale price was $4.87/pound! (The exhibitors receive this price minus the "base price" which was established at $2.30/lb this year.)
The exhibitors often use the sale proceeds to further invest in expanding their projects and many also use the funds for future college. THANK YOU!
