A parade will be taking place on May 22 to honor veterans and healthcare workers. The parade will be taking place around 10 AM and will go through the town and around the different facilities including HSHS, Springfield Clinic, and the downtown circle.  Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry will be saying a few words at Taylorville Memorial Hospital. 

Sales Director of Life’s Journey Senior Living says that this parade is important, especially now.

Going by the Nursing Homes and Senior Living Centers will be a touch of normalcy for a lot of veterans.

Young is hoping for a good crowd and is excited at how it has really grown. Pana will be holding a parade as well on May 21st. For more information on how you can participate, contact Connie Young at 620-6375.
