The parade started at 11:11 a.m. on Nov. 11 in honor of the World War I armistice that was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Community members lined Sixth Street to honor veterans who served overseas and show support for community efforts. Redmond Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4108 hosted a cookout following the parade, serving hamburgers, hotdogs and chili to veterans and their families. Sponsored by the VFW, ClearPath Healthcare and McDonald’s of Redmond, Madras and Prineville also provided food supplies.
