Grover King VFW Post 1115 of Hillsville will sponsor a Veterans Day parade on Saturday, November 10, beginning at 2 p.m. Participants will line up along Edgewood Drive, across from Carroll County Intermediate School, beginning at 1:15 p.m.

Any area business, individual, civic group or other organization wishing to participate may do so by showing up at the appointed time. Pre-registration is not necessary.
