VETERANS DAY IS COMING!

PARADE - Wednesday, November 11th at 11 am, 2026

Every year on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we celebrate Veterans Day. Originally known as Armistice Day, this marks the anniversary of the end of World War I and is in honor of all military veterans. Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day which honors those who died while in military service.

Please join us in honoring our Veterans this year. The parade will line up on Scott Street headed east to Safford Street starting at 10 am. All groups are welcome in the parade. There is no registration sign up needed.

The parade will begin promptly at 11 am. The parade will proceed down east Main Street to Putnam Square (four corners) and turn up North Street. The Parade will pause at the VFW for a salute and laying of wreaths. From there, the parade will continue to the Vermont Veterans Home for a final wreath laying ceremony.

The VFW and the American Legion alternate years organizing the parade. This year the VFW Post #1332 is the organizer.

It's that time of year when lawn signs crop up everywhere... but one place they SHOULD NOT BE is on public property or in Town right of ways.

This includes the triangle at the south end of Benmont and ANY roadside or public land anywhere in Bennington.

Please remember the ONLY PLACE you can legally put lawn signs is on private property where the owner has given permission!

Our Town bridge crew has poured new deck panels for their next big project — replacing the bridge on Chapel Road. Alongside that are new forms getting ready to pour deck panels for a new bridge on Middle Pownal Road (Bennington side) that is also planned.

Both project will begin next spring. Steve Tatro, our bridge crew foreman points to where pins will attach the bridge panels to the abutments. The panels are fixed on one end and allowed to move on the other so it can expand and contract as needed.
