Centerport FD Hosts Memorial Day Parade

The Centerport Fire Department hosted their annual Memorial Day Parade and Service on Moday, May 25, 2015. It was very well-attended by the community.  Besides firefighters and shiny fire apparatus, the parade featured marching bands from the Harborfields Schools and scouts from local troops.  After the parade, the Ex-Chiefs led a flag-raising ceremony at the Park Circle Monument opposite the firehouse. This year’s guest speaker was Sergeant Robert Ferri, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam. Refreshments were served by the Centerport Cadets and the Ladies Auxiliary held their Bake Sale.
