Famous detective Hercule Poirot meets a host of peculiar characters aboard the Orient Express. When one is found stabbed multiple times in his locked train compartment, Poirot is tasked to solve the murder, as the killer could still be in their midst. As Poirot investigates, conflicting clues and convoluted alibis lead him to dead ends. Over the course of 48 hours, will Poirot be able to solve the case of the Murder on the Orient Express?
Get ready for the Veterans Day parade with this hearty all-you-can-eat breakfast including scrambled eggs, ham, pancakes, milk and coffee. The cost is $10.00 for Adults, $5.00 for Kids, Active Military in uniform, and Veterans. Proceeds will help the Albany Optimist Club support organizations in our community that help children.
The service will include welcoming remarks by Linn County Commissioner Will Tucker, Albany Mayor Alex Johnson II, and Michael E. Stencel, Adjutant General, OR Military Department. Keynote Speaker Randy Martinak of the Linn County Veterans Memorial Association will lead the ceremony, which will include the laying of wreaths and a 105mm Howitzer Gun Salute. Photo by Cathy Web.
