CLAREMONT — American Legion Post 29 cordially invites the public of all ages to join them on the Broad Street Park commons to celebrate the American Legion Centennial on July 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both Post 29 and the American Legion organization have existed for 100 years, serving veterans, their families and the community.
The Centennial Celebration begins at 11 a.m. and includes games for the kids, prize raffles, a coloring contest, barbecue and live DJ. Municipal parking is readily available along the common. Children and adults of all ages are invited to join in the festivities. This event is free and open to the public.
After the main celebration ends at 4 p.m., adults are invited to come to the American Legion Post across the street and enjoy some refreshment, a finger food potluck, live band, and more raffles. All adults of the public, 21+, are welcome to attend.
“The American Legion would like to thank the City of Claremont for allowing them to serve in the community for 100 years – and hopefully for many more years to come,” the organization said.
