Stephens County is marking Memorial Day today.

This year’s Memorial Day observance is scheduled for 11 a.m. today on the lawn of the historic Stephens County Courhouse in downtown Toccoa.

The guest speaker will be Jackie Whitmire.

If it rains, the location for the program will be the VFW Post 4346 on West Savannah Street in Toccoa.

Meanwhile, Toccoa City Hall, Stephens County government offices, and Stephens County school system offices will be closed today in observance of Memorial Day.

In the city of Toccoa, routes for garbage and recycling that are scheduled to be picked up today will be picked up instead on Tuesday.
