Avon Remembers Sept. 11

Victims, first responders, military honored in ceremony

In the midst of Fall Into Avon fun, Avon residents came together Sunday afternoon to remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

A ceremony, organized by the French Creek Development Association, at the former police station on Detroit Road featured a salute from an honor guard of VFW Post 7035 and speeches from Avon mayor Jim Smith, acting police chief Capt. Richard Bosley, and assistant fire chief Tim Golay.

Scouts from Troop 333 presented the flag and led the crowd of about 100 people in the Pledge of Allegiance.
