Only slightly more than two months remain before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and, with it, a remembrance ceremony in Taylorville.  It’s set to take place on that anniversary at 10 a.m. on the Christian County courthouse grounds, weather permitting.  The alternate location is the Christian County fairgrounds.  There will be several speakers and musical performances, all with the goal of honoring first responders and ensuring the events of that day are never forgotten.

Ted Chapman is organizing the remembrance event.  He says the first responder tributes will be both for local ones as well as those involved in the aftermath of 9/11.

There will be bleachers, but attendees are also recommended to bring a lawn chair in case the bleachers fill up.

Chapman credits several local officials and agencies for working with him to put the event on.

More information on the ceremony is available by calling Chapman at (217) 827-4155.
