Clearfield County to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks

Plans are in the works in Clearfield County to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Marven Smith of Clearfield told the Clearfield County commissioners that he and a group of volunteers are planning to hold several events during the weekend of Sept. 11, which could include a ceremony at the courthouse square, a parade through downtown, a program at the Clearfield Driving Park and a memorial stone placed in front of the courthouse on a pillar adjacent to the Ten Commandments.
Smith said their ideas for the design of the stone are to recognize all three sites, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Shanksville crash site, as well as those who lost their lives.
Smith said they also plan to decorate the downtown in red, white and blue and said they have asked area students to make posters commemorating Sept. 11, which will be placed in downtown storefronts.
"We will bring the town alive for those two days for sure," Smith said.
Smith said they are still in the early planning stages of the event so he couldn't give many details or definite plans and said everything is still tentative. However, he said they are meeting on Feb. 22, and more details should be forthcoming afterward.
