The town of Windermere hosted its own Veterans Day celebration Sunday, Nov. 10, at Town Hall.

The event began with an invocation by Pastor Brad Jagger, of Windermere Union Church; the singing of the national anthem and other patriotic songs by the Girl Scout Citrus Singers; a welcome by Mayor Jim O’Brien; showing of the colors by the Lone Sailor Division cadets; and a message from veteran and town council member Tony Davit. The festivities continued with a car show, food trucks and live music from locals Francesca Tarantino and Layla Brisbois.

The event was organized by the Rotary Club of Windermere and the Windermere Police Department.
