We have been asked what time the cannon will be fired. We posted the Legion's announcement and pinned it on our FB page. The event starts at 2:30 in the afternoon with the Legion first, and then the Sons of the Union Veterans. We have no idea what time the cannon will go off, but guessing after 3 sometime.

Please note, the cannon pictured is located in the cemetery. Although it is from 1862 and Civil War era, it is NOT the one being fired.
