The Town Budget provides funds to the Recreation Committee to hold the Memorial Day and
July 4th parades. The Memorial Day Parade is coordinated by the James L. Melvin Post #379

Post. The Campbell Highlanders and the Spofford Pond School Band provided music for the
parade and ceremony.

along with the Board of Selectmen, Boy Scout, Cub Scout and Girl Scout troops. Ceremonies
