Bradford Era – When Kelly Barr Hughes moved to Mount Jewett from St. Louis last October, she brought along her passion for honoring veterans around the country. That’s why she decided to organize a Wreaths Across America event in the area.

According to the event website, “Wreaths Across America coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at more than 2,100 locations across the United States, at sea and abroad.”

Wreaths are currently being sold for $15 each by Decade Dames (code: PA0526P), the Mount Jewett Vol. Fire Dept. (code: PA0525P), Mount Jewett Hilltop Heritage Coalition (code: PA0530P), Mount Jewett Rotary Club (code: PA0533P), Mount Jewett Boy Scout Troop #410 (code: PA0534P) and the Mount Jewett VFD Fire Police (code: PA0535P).

To purchase a wreath, individuals can either visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org and click on the “local sponsorship group” link under the “sponsor wreaths” button, or talk to a member of one of the aforementioned organizations. Read More
