flagThere is an event in Guthrie Center on Monday to honor the Memorial Day holiday.

There will be a program at Freedom Rock Park starting at 10:30am. The program will be hosted by the Omar B. Shearer American Legion Post No. 124, and will include patriotic music performances from the Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center band and choir students. There will also be a traditional gun salute and a guest speaker.

The Legion Auxiliary will also be distributing poppies today from 8am-noon at the junction of Highways 25 and 44 and at Hometown Foods.
