The 2023 Wreaths for Boscawen ceremony will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at the NH Veterans Cemetery. Opening Ceremony will start at 10:15 am. We gather at the Circle of Flags outside the Admin building for opening ceremony. The ceremony will provide some introductory remarks and a short briefing to provide basic information to volunteers. We suggest you get there before 10:00 so you don't miss out on the instructions for wreath placing, which will start at 10:30 am.
