Tracy stated that the Village is seeking active and/or retired military service members to participate in the July 2 parade. He said Wausaukee's American Legion Post only has a few remaining members, and most of them are unable to walk the parade route due to age and/or disability.Tracy said a trailer will be available to transport any elderly or disabled vets who would like to participate in the parade.
Disabled and elderly veterans, along with any able bodied active or retired service members willing to march in the parade, are asked to meet in the parking lot of J&R Auto at 12:30 p.m. on July 2.
Later in the meeting the board approved a temporary Class B beer retail license for the Marinette County Fair Association for the July 2 event, and for the annual Marinette County Fair, which will be held from Thursday, Aug. 25 through Sunday, Aug. 28.
