HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Hamilton resident Ken Beyer, disappointed over the cancellation of the annual Memorial Day parade, is organizing a spontaneous vehicle-only parade, starting at 7:30 a.m. Monday, May 25, 2020, at Hamilton Middle School, 4845 136th Ave., Hamilton.
The line-up will roll at 8 a.m., he told WHTC, taking M40 south to the Veterans Memorial for a 9 a.m. prayer service. He’s asking parade participants to stay in their vehicles.
Beyer says the parade honors fallen soldiers and their families. He says it’s not a protest and anyone with any other reason for paricipating will not be allowed in the line-up.
He’s encouraging donations for Hamilton’s Memorial; checks can be made out to Allegan County Community Foundation, 112 Locust St, Allegan, MI 49010.
