Veterans of all ages are warmly invited to participate, with local antique car owners generously offering their vehicles to honor them along the parade route.

The antique cars will depart immediately following the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Regional Veterans Park, located behind Lane Hospital.

Local antique car clubs are also coming together to support veterans in the parade. If you own an antique car and would like to drive a veteran along the route, please contact Darren Spears at darren.spears@zacharyschools.org or pick up a “Driver Form” at City Hall, 4700 Main Street.
