Memorial Day weekend isn’t just a time for people to fire up the grill and head to the lake for the first time—it is an opportunity to pay respect to individuals and their families who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the country.

The annual Henning Memorial Day program will be moved outdoors this year due to the HVAC and school building project. The program will be held at the Veterans park.

Two Memorial Day programs are being planned in the Henning and Deer Creek area on Monday morning.

The first program will be held in Henning at 9:30 a.m. The program will include an invocation, address, songs and time to honor the sacrifices made by local veterans and their families. 

Due to the HVAC project going on at Henning School this summer, the Henning Memorial Day program will be held outdoors at the Veterans Memorial Park on Monday morning. In the event of inclement weather the program will be canceled. 

The second program will be held at the Deer Creek Community Center. 

The day will begin with a breakfast including everything from French toast, pancakes, egg bake and more from 7:30-10 a.m. The breakfast will be followed by the annual Memorial Day program at the Deer Creek Community Center beginning at 10:30 a.m. 

The Deer Creek program will include guest speaker, state senator Jordan Rasmusson, as well as music, readings, laying of the wreaths and a 21-gun salute.
