Oxford Memorial Day Parade to step off at 11 a.m. Monday
On Monday in Oxford, the annual Memorial Day Parade will step off at 11 a.m. from the Little River Shopping Center at the intersection of 35 Old State Road and Route 67 (Oxford Road).
Parade organizers said dozens of marching units, including four bands and various youth sports, scouting and other town organizations will be featured.
The parade will proceed along Route 67 (Oxford Road), stopping at three Veterans’ memorials along the way. The parade will conclude at Oxford Town Hall, 486 Oxford Road, with a wreath presentation ceremony.
A complimentary lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers that’s open to the public will be held at The Boar’s Nest following the parade.
An afternoon of live music by 100 Proof and the Luke James Band will be featured.

From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Pink House Cove
This week's "Turnback Tuesday" shows the road which is now Route 34 West in Derby. The road runs alongside the Housatonic River below what is known as Pink House Cove. The photo was likely taken in the late 1800s.
