Here are a few things we thought you might want to know for Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020:
Wednesday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day and the Cass County Veterans Day Parade will begin at 10 a.m. at the memorial at 4th and Broadway in Downtown Logansport. The grand marshal for this year’s event is retired Veterans Council Chaplain James Miller.

The American Red Cross is urging healthy donors of all blood types to band together to give blood and help ensure a stable blood supply for patients this holiday season.
The traditional slump in blood donations between Thanksgiving and New Year’s comes as the blood supply already faces challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic.
You can make an appointment to donate blood, platelets or plasma with the Red Cross by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
