MONROE — A march in support of the U.S. Post Office will take place at 10 a.m. Aug. 15 on the Square in Monroe.

Attendees will have the opportunity to sign a petition to be sent to state legislators, urging them to support the post office. 

Organizers of the event anticipate a crowd of 20 to 30 people, with those in attendance wearing masks and keeping a 6-foot social distance in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Monroe resident Tom Fey will be at the demonstration, holding homemade signs with sayings such as “I’m a Post Office Patriot” and “Save the Post Office.”

“The post office has been here for 200 years and we need to keep it for another 200 years,” Fey said.
