Join Veterans in celebrating the 101st Veterans day on Sunday November 10th, 2019 at 13:00 at Skinner’s Butte veterans memorial.
Date And Time Location
Sun, November 10, 2019 Skinner Butte Park
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM PST 248 Cheshire
Eugene, OR 97401
Veterans, families, and supporters will assemble and begin at the Veterans Memorial wall at Skinners Butte Park and walk to the flagpole atop of Skinners Butte. This will involve crossing Cheshire Avenue and using Skinners Butte Loop to ascend the Butte. Secondarily, participants who choose and are able will continue on a lengthier 3-mile ruck through the city using sidewalks and pedestrian traffic areas.
Ruck is a military term which involves a rucksack and traveling a distance on foot. There are formal ceremonies in Eugene and Springfield to view, but many veterans enjoy being active. My goal is to hold an all-inclusive, family-oriented activity for veterans of Eugene and surrounding areas.
Tentative Schedule of events
12:45 – Assemble
13:00 – STEP OFF from Skinner Butte Veterans Memorial Wall
13:45 – Meet at Summit (potential flag change)
On Friday 11/8 there will be no school due to teachers engaging in professional development. There is no school Monday 11/11 due to Veterans Day. Hope you have a productive and enjoyable long weekend and take some time out to honor our Veterans.
