It finally looks like cooperative weather days on Tuesday and Friday this week. The 25th and 28th will be work days at Center Cemetery in Halifax. We will try and get in a half day on both Tuesday and Friday. 9 to 12 in the morning. Come on over or PM me if you feel like helping out.
Thanks

Due to the crazy weather the next few days, the work at the cemetery will not happen until probably next week sometime. I will update the schedule here when the weather and times look better.

Don't forget about our VOCA workday session (Vermont Old Cemetery Association) on Saturday July 13th at Taylor Stacy Cemetery at the corner of Butterfield Rd and Hatch School Road. Should be a fun day straightening a few stones. They don't look too bad and with enough volunteers, we can get them finished in a few hours. I hope to see you there.

Welcome home John Thompson. Tomorrow we will get him finished and dress up the area around the headstones.
Yes, we will be at center cemetery Monday am at 9 AM for a few hours. Come on over before it gets too hot.

Sunday and Monday morning at 9 AM we (The Halifax Halifax Vermont Cemetery Restoration Team) will be at the Center Cemetery once again doing what we do. We should have a pretty short day tomorrow but any help would be appreciated. We have that stone to set in the base and maybe straightening another headstone or two. We would love to see you there.
Happy Fathers Day!

The Halifax Cemetery Restoration Team is postponing our workday scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) morning to Sunday morning at 9AM. The weather is not looking very good with rain and T-Storms throughout the day. Sorry for the inconveinence if you planned to be there. Sunday looks to be a much better (dry) day. We hope to see you for a bit at Center Cemetery.

Once again this Friday, the Halifax Cemetery restoration team and volunteers will be at the Center cemetery repairing and straightening headstones from 9 AM until about noon. If we have more people we get a lot more done. And we could also stay a little bit later if we have the energy. The center cemetery is on Jacksonville stage Road in Halifax, Vermont. one of the first things we will be doing on Friday is resetting the Thompson Stone that was crushed possibly by a branch that fell a long time ago. I will include the picture below of its progress over the past year and now it is out of my shop ready to be planted again.

While the Halifax cemetery commission is having some trees cleared from the Hatch Cemetery on Hatch School Rd, the town will be closing the road on Tuesday between Hanson Rd and Butterfield rd to allow the crane needed for the job to set up across the road.
The closure will be between 8AM and 3PM.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

We had a great day at the "Soup for Boots" fundraiser for the Halifax Fire Department.
We had 11 wonderful homemade soups and many loaves of delicious Oatmeal honey bread.
A big thanks to all who came out and The Halifax Community CLub who put on the event.
