Friday: Veterans Day
Lots going on for Veterans Day in the Triangle, and many places you can observe the holiday right here in Cary. But we’d like to call attention to the remembrance this Friday at the Cary YMCA.
On Friday, November 11th @ 10:50 a.m., the Cary Family YMCA will hold it’s second annual Veterans Day celebration. To honor Veterans, members and the community will gather in front of the main building for a flag-raising ceremony conducted by the NC State Air Force ROTC color guard. Grace Christian School band will perform. Veteran and Cary Town Councilman Jack Smith will speak. This event is for all ages.
You can also visit the Veterans Memorial on Harrison Av, Hillcrest Cemetery on Page Street downtown or bring an old flag for retirement to the Cary American Legion. More info on the Calendar.
Saturday: Smash Bros Gaming
From 1:00 – 4:30 pm, it’s National Gaming Day at the Eva Perry Library. From the Calendar:
