Cemetery, will honor the nation’s veterans and is part of a nationwide effort spanning more than 4,500 locations. Tonya Fox, co-coordinator, will guide the program.

The day’s festivities will conclude with the annual Christmas parade, sponsored by the Farmersville Chamber of Commerce. This year’s theme, “Songs of the Season,” will bring holiday tunes to life with festive floats and music.
