Memorial Day parade route returns to Linglestown Road

It's official. The Memorial Day parade in the village on Monday, May 28, starting at 1 pm will return to its traditional route that includes the stretch of Linglestown Road between Balthaser Street and the square. (An alternate route was used in 2010 and 2011 due to road construction in the village.)

There will be a reviewing stand in the parking lot at Koons Park where select units participating in the parade will perform.

Units scheduled to march in the parade include the Central Dauphin High School band, Bishop McDevitt High School band, Capital City Cruisers, The American Legion Riders, Linglestown Civic Association and various fire departments.

Adjutant Allan Gallagher of American Legion Post 272, the parade's sponsor, credited state Rep. Ron Marsico, Lower Paxton Township Supervisor Bill Seeds and township manager George Wolfe for helping to get state approval to temporarily close Linglestown Road.
