Weekend Planner May 27-30

Yes, there's a parade on Thursday and the FFA County Fair through Sunday. But that's not all there is to do in Healdsburg this holiday weekend.

Saturday -

American Legion Post 111 presents A Small Town Goes to War: A Salute to the Bedford Boys. The first part of the performance offers music of the 1940s; the second half features a poem told by actors and veterans. The Tom Pettit-penned “The Bedford Boys: First at Omaha Beach” tells the true story of a band of friends in the town of Bedford, Virginia, who join the military together and are shipped off to Normandy, where most lost their lives in the first moments of the World War 2. Bedford lost a bigger segment of its population in that first battle than any other community in the United States. Proceeds benefit the American Legion Post 111.

If you go: Tickets are $15 and available at and at Levin & Co. in Healdsburg (cash/checks only). The show is from 8 p.m.-10 p.m. at the 115 North Street in Healdsburg.
