SIKESTON -- It is time for another Memorial Day ceremony and Sikeston Veterans Park has never looked better.
The annual Memorial Day service is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Monday at Veterans Park.
"I think it will be a great service," said David Bizzell, member of Sikeston Veterans Park Committee. "They are predicting great weather -- a little warm, but what do you expect on Memorial Day?"
Those who haven't visited the Park in awhile may be surprised by improvements made over the last year or so, Bizzell said.
"We have a brand new walking track," he said. "It is a real nice brick sidewalk that runs through the Park."
The walking trail, which was added thanks to a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation, according to Bizzell, links up with the walking trail at the sports complex.
