HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of Hutchinson is planning a ceremony for the Friday before Veterans Day next month.
"We are going to turn on an eternal flame at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial near the Post Office at First and Walnut," said Vice Mayor Greg Fast. "That will be Nov. 10 at 11 a.m."
This has been a collaboration with city staff and the private sector to accomplish.
"Justin and his crew with the Parks Department has done a great job of getting that project moved along," Fast said. "The Chamber kind of took the lead on a ribbon cutting and it will just add to our downtown at very little cost to the city. Kansas Gas has partnered with us."
The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial is a Civil War Memorial in the middle of First Avenue in Downtown Hutchinson.
