​The Chain O Lakes Festival Committee is recognizing our nation’s semiquincentennial by thanking the veterans of our community. This year, in lieu of a traditional grand marshal, the Committee has chosen to honor the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces who call this area home. Their bravery has ensured the enduring independence we enjoy today, 250 years strong. Join the Chain O Lakes Festival in a celebration of stars and stripes on the square as a thank you to our veterans for their service and sacrifice.
