Hundreds attend Warren veterans event

WARREN — The rains came just as the Veteran’s Day activities began Monday morning, but it was a temporary inconvenience.

The hundreds of attendees moved across Mahoning Avenue from Monument Park to fill First Presbyterian Church for a dry and comfortable ceremony.

The parade that followed the ceremony took place under partly sunny skies with no rain. There were 53 units in the parade, including the Warren and Southington high school bands.

Though many of the units threw out candy, relatively few children lined the parade route downtown, because they were in school.
