The 4th of July is going to be celebrated at Lake Boren Park on the evening of July 3rd. There will be music in the park from 6:00 PM until 10:30 at which time fireworks will begin. The historical society will be conducting tours in the cemetery with our guides. In preparation for the cemetery tour, we will be conducting a general clean-up on the morning of June 28th. If you could spare an hour or two to help out, your participation would be appreciated. We are still mitigating the storm damage from November. It is a continuing effort. The gate will be open at 9:00 AM and remain open until 2:00 PM. Advise work boots, gloves and your favorite yard tools (hand pruner, lopper, rake and a wheel barrow). I will have cold water and a few snacks. I have heard it said that a person can determine the vitality of a community by the way that the cemetery is maintained. Although this is an inactive cemetery, it was once a focal point of the mining history on which Newcastle was built. Your help is appreciated.
