Oldest Greene citizen, Barbara Nelson and Rep. Stacy Dostie at Greene Memorial Day celebration.

Senator Nutting speaks to the kids at the Sabattus Memorial Day celebration.

Yesterday, I attended the Sabattus and Greene Memorial Day celebrations. It was a beautiful day.

The Sabattus event started at 9 am with a parade from the Legion. From there we marched to the memorial on the corner of Elm and Greene Street’s. The ceremony was led by our Legion Commander. Sabattus had a very good turnout. An American Legion member from Lewiston was very impressed. He said that Sabattus had more attendees than the Lewiston parade on Saturday.

At 11 am in Greene, a small ceremony was held at the memorial by the VFW. It was a very nice ceremony. At the ceremony, I met Greene’s oldest resident, Barbara Nelson. Barbara is 99 years old. She recently received the Boston Post Cane. She is quite a lady!
