The Fairview Fire Department will host a very brief Memorial Day Ceremony at our memorial located at Greenburgh Police Department Headquarters. The Ceremony will start at 11:30. It will be very brief and respectful. No parade. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Fairview Fire Department will host their annual Memorial Day BBQ at the Fairview Headquarters. The apparatus bay doors will be open and some seating will be outside.
There are other ceremonies in Elmsford, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley, Irvington, Tarrytown. The Hastings parade begins at 2 PM on Sunday, not Monday.
Have a great Memorial day --remember our veterans and take the time to watch some of the 150 living history interviews with World War II and Korean veterans on public access TV all weekend.
