(NOTE:  The City of Fishers announced Tuesday morning that this event will be held virtually, with an online video feed)

 

The City of Fishers has traditionally held its annual Veterans Day ceremony indoors, due to the normal weather we find in an Indiana November.  However, we are in the middle of a major pandemic, so the city will have this year’s Veterans Day event outside at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater.

It will be held on Veterans Day, November 11, at 10am.  Plans include a warbird flyover, pin presentation, remarks from Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, local veterans, and keynote speaker Colonel Charles F. “Chuck” Bragg, IGR and more.

Here are more details, as provided by the City of Fishers:
