Friends, family and neighbors gathered on a sunny May afternoon at the American Legion for its Memorial Day commemoration in Pittsboro. The event opened with the presentation of colors and the playing of taps to honor those who died serving the United States, presented by the American Legion Chapel Hill Post No. 6 Honor Guard. George Chall, a World War II veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, spoke about remembrance and resilience. Local musicians Jordan Pickett, Jason Damico and Free Eagle and Thorns of Fire performed lively sets as attendees relaxed on the lawn and at picnic tables. Vendors including Red Moose Brewing Company, Thirsty Skull Brewing - Siler City, City Tap Bar and Restaurant and Dan's Dogs offered cold beer, hot dogs and barbecue sandwiches for the hungry crowd. Guests also took part in an oyster boil fundraiser hosted by Postal Fish Company and a silent auction, raising a total of $2,325 for the American Legion.
