Rhinelander's ceremony begins at the Davenport Street bridge at 10:30 a.m. then proceeds to the courthouse for a full ceremony at 11 a.m. Glen Johnson...a prisoner of war during World War II....will return to conclude his story during the Rhinelander event today. There are dozens of ceremonies scheduled for today across the region.
