“Mayor Charles Meeker announced Feb 12 that downtown Raleigh will be the setting for an enormous Salute to Our Troops on April 26. The day long celebration and “Thank-You” will begin at 10:00 am with a parade from Davie Street to the Capitol. For more information visit http://www.saluteournctroops.org/.”Sadly, that happens to be the same day as the Triangle Beach Music Festival, but I’ll make both happen somehow!
