OXFORD – The Village of Oxford will host a dedication ceremony on Saturday after officials said they added more than 200 engraved bricks to their memorial site.

According to Oxford Historian Vicky House, the ceremony will be at around 1:45 p.m. this Saturday, at the Oxford Memorial.

"We have a total of 655 bricks, in the memorial after just adding 201 this past Sunday," said House. "The black posts and chain were added to give it a more formal appearance.

"We will soon be adding four new bluestone benches and sod around the memorial. Later in the year, we hope to grade the park, leveling the ground and planting new grass."

She said last year's dedication was to commemorate Veterans' Day, the end of World War I and the new memorial. She added that this year, officials will be focusing on Flag Day, June 14th, and the new bricks we just added.
