Escalon High School was the scene for a special ceremony honoring area veterans on Tuesday, Nov. 10 and that was followed up with the downtown parade and ceremonies at the Community Center on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The double-dip Veterans Day observance saw veterans welcomed to the high school as special guests for a Tuesday afternoon program, featuring a video, presentation of cards and flowers for all veterans attending, with the entire high school student body packed into the new gym. Wednesday, the traditional Veterans Day, the morning parade saw watchers lining up both sides of Main Street and waving small American flags as the various groups made their way along the route.
