Holtville Honors Veterans with Parade and Farmer’s Market

HOLTVILLE — The city of Holtville held their 13th annual Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, Nov. 7, where community members came together to celebrate and honor those who have served in our country’s armed forces. Parade-goers stood on both sides of West Fifth Street to watch school marching bands, city departments and veterans organizations pass by, appreciating the many paths a veteran can take. “We have the usual — several bands from lots of different schools here in the county, we have the sheriffs who have a huge entry in this parade and then we’ve got community groups of various sorts that are big,” stated Holtville City Council member Mike Goodsell. “We love to have the Daughters of the American Revolution in the parade, and car clubs are nice to see.
