Viewfinder: Brecksville Getting Ready for Memorial Day
City crews decorate City Hall, public spaces. Parade is Monday.
City workers are busy preparing public spaces for Memorial Day with decorations. Monday's celebration includes a parade at 10:45 a.m. City offices will be closed, but the Community Center will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
I spotted a small crew including Kimberly Stehli and Jessica Somos setting planters with blue stars around Brecksville on Thursday in preparation for the Memorial Day weekend. Flags line Brecksville Road (Route 21) and Chippewa/Royalton Road (Route 82). Small flags are already placed at graves at the Brecksville Cemetery.
Weather permitting, Monday’s parade will start at 10:45 a.m. at City Hall, 9069 Brecksville Rd., proceed north, then go west (left turn) onto Royalton Road, then left on Highland. The parade concludes at Brecksville (also known as Highland) Cemetery with a memorial service.
The National Weather Service forecasts partly cloudy skies and a high of 87 on Monday. That, of course, is subject to change.
