Saturday marked a day of celebration and reflection in parts of the county as residents gathered at Bushong City Park to mark the completion of the North Lyon County Veterans Memorial. While the reason for the celebration — a total of three additional stone plaques to be installed in order to honor hundreds more service members from the area — had, unfortunately, not yet arrived, the atmosphere was still jovial throughout. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., guests — many of whom had served in the arm forces in some capacity — were invited to partake in a complimentary fish fry which not only included a range of free food and live music, but also a chance to fellowship and share stories.
