Immediately Following the Ceremony – Wreath Distribution and Laying begins
Distribution points will be at the Sections that the cemetery has selected for Wreath Laying this year. The selected sections are: 12 thru 20
Volunteers PLEASE COME EARLY. Wreath distribution is first come first serve and initially limited to about 3 wreaths per person/trip. Volunteers can come back multiple times to the distribution points and retrieve more wreaths as long as there are wreaths still available to distribute - so please arrive in time for the ceremony to ensure chance of getting wreaths to place before they run out. Distribution points will close as soon as all wreaths have been distributed or placed.
PARKING: Please help us by keeping the main roadway, traffic circles, and the Car Staging Lanes clear. See No Parking Zones on the event map. Other than that, there is plenty of parking at this cemetery, so feel free to park in any available spot along the other side streets leading to the various sections.
