The Jefferson VFW Women’s Auxiliary is looking for more military veterans to ride on their float during the Bell Tower Festival parade next month.

Marilyn Leiss says any veteran in Greene County is encouraged to notify them that they would like to be a part of their parade float in this year’s town celebration.  She adds that in light of Governor Terry Branstad declaring the county the first to become a Home Base Iowa community to bring veterans to the area for jobs is a wonderful honor and needs to be celebrated during the festival.

Their theme for this year’s float is “Saluting All Vets In Greene County” and they will be towards the front of the parade right after the police and fire departments.

Leiss points out that veterans are to let her know by June 5th if you want to be included.  Contact her by calling 515-386-8903 to sign up.
