Simmons explained, “the parade route will be lined with "In Honor of" or "In Memory of" yellow bows. The yellow bows will contain the name of a special soldier or loved one. They will also contain the branch of service and rank of the soldier or the relationship of your loved one.”
If you’d like to donate, include all information on the veteran or loved one to be remembered, and send it to : SwineFest Solutions, PO Box 3390, Huntington, WV 25702.
