Thanks to all the families and volunteers who helped unpack wreaths and then help lay the wreaths on Wreath Across America. We were able to lay a wreath on all gravesites in both cemeteries! Lori Snyder, Kansas Veterans’ Cemetery Manager at Fort Dodge .

Just a quick reminder from Ford County Emergency Management, if you have not already taken notice of the winter weather, notifications that have gone out this weekend you should know that some areas will have multiple concerns coming at us for this week and next week including snow, ice, wind chill, and power bumps possible.
