The town of Villageburg, Illinois had a bit of a surprise for their annual Memorial Day Parade. The participants were more than chagrined when the traveling festivities were rerouted by construction on downtown Main Street and forced to go two blocks out of their way to First Street or Second Street. Actually, to be perfectly blunt, they all look the same to this reporter.
The good news is that the parade did make it to the Villageberg cemetery in time for Tom Peters, of the Veterans of Future Wars and The Jaycee Memorial Day Events, to say a few kind words that most people could not hear because of the horrid sound system and the continuing need of those old guys with even older rifles to shoot round after round of blanks into the air, thus further damaging their already fragile ability to hear anything at all.
