EVENTS ROUNDUP

The annual Pearl Harbor wreath ceremony near the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday.

The remembrance Saturday will be held on the Lewiston side of the Snake River, north of the Interstate Bridge (Blue Bridge). The laying of the wreath will happen simultaneously with a flyover of World War II aircraft provided by Gary Peters, a 21-gun salute and the sounding of taps by the Marine Corps League.
