Downtown Eustis The Place To Be For Veterans Celebration

    Veterans Day will be marked throughout the area this week. The official day arrives on Friday, November 11, and the public will have the chance to show its appreciation to veterans at events both on Friday and over the weekend.
   The largest event on the local calendar is the City of Eustis' Salute To Veterans festival on Saturday, November 12. Running from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. in downtown Eustis, the special day will include a parade, a special honor ceremony, food and vendors, a historic military vehicle display, live entertainment, and more. The fun begins at 8:30 a.m. with a two-mile dash 'fun run' downtown, followed by a 10 a.m. veterans parade on North Eustis Street. At 11 a.m., the Ferran Park bandshell will be the scene of a special Honor Ceremony. That event will include featured guest speaker Retired Major General David Coffman, a Eustis native who is expected to deliver a message on faith, family, country, and community. From 10 am. - 4 p.m., the public is invited to enjoy food and craft vendors, and from 1 - 4 p.m. live entertainment will be provided by Johnny Wild and the Delights.
