READFIELD — An event honoring all veterans is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 11, where the 3rd Maine Infantry (Civil War re-enactors) will participate.

Members of Readfield’s Historical Society, Selectboard and United Methodist Church have planned the event.

Participants should gather by 10 a.m. at the Readfield Corner Cemetery, Church Road, for a remembrance of some veterans whose memorials and graves are there. From the cemetery, the 3rd Maine will lead the way to Asa Gile Hall, 8 Old Kents Hill Road, for a closing ceremony at 11 a.m. in honor of all veterans.

All are invited to march along, or those who are not able to walk that far can follow in their vehicles. The 3rd Maine will do two musket volleys along the way, at the cemetery and outside Gile Hall.

Following the ceremony, free bag lunches will be distributed by the Readfield United Methodist Church at Gile Hall, 8 Old Kents Hill Road.

To begin at Readfield Corner Cemetery, parking is available at the Old Fairgrounds parking lot or in the north end of the cemetery.

People are asked to invite or bring veterans they know. For more information, call 207-441-9184 or email crossings4u@gmail.com.
