HELP NEEDED at Historic Concordia Cemetery

Recent heavy rains have caused the grass to grow faster than we can keep up with, and we are in desperate need of volunteers to help mow and trim the grounds.

We need help with Riding mowers, Push mowers and String trimming. We supply the equipment if you can spare the time.

The good news is this week’s dry weather should allow the cemetery grounds to dry out enough for mowing.

Historic Concordia Cemetery
Saturday, May 30
9:00 AM – Noon

Many hands make light work, and your help would be greatly appreciated as we work to keep the cemetery beautiful and cared for.

Please share this post to help spread the word!
