Saturday was sunny and clear, with a little bit of a November chill in the air … but that didn’t stop the crowd from turning out for a couple of special events around the Escalon community. In fact, Saturday, Nov. 11 featured plenty of local observances for Veterans Day, starting with a downtown parade at 10:30 a.m. Following the parade, which also included a flag raising and lowering ceremony at the historic Main Street Park caboose, attendees adjourned to the city’s Community Center. There, at the Veterans Memorial Wall, a ceremony was held to thank veterans for their service, remember their sacrifice and honor them for their contributions.
