Cemetery tour relives history of Council Grove's Early Citizens

Malique...

your comments are about the most asinine I have seen posted on this site, besides ole' KB's conspiracy theory posts of course. But they are in the top running with his... be careful how you word things or you may be the next EG "loon"

Cemetery tour relives history of Council Grove's Early Citizens

This is how it is done where I live. Period dress actors giving a play by play of the history of our county and the people that helped found it. The stories of their lives and their death are particularly interesting.

Afterward everyone is invited to a spaghetti feed, where, for a free will donation you get a heaping plate of spaghetti made by good-hearted Christian women, some salad and warm french bread. All donations go to the cemetery board, and they use the funds to help ease the burden of the restoration of the veterans memorial that sits in the middle of the largest cemetery in the county.

Petition to ban reddog from Gazette website

I wish that reddog had an opinion of his own to post. Things must be pretty slow in the real estate business; the crazy old man has WAY too much time on his hands!

Keep it sacred

I guess my question is- what is being done with the money raised? Is it given back to the cemetery, or is it supporting the Rec Commission and /or Historical Society? If its for the cemetery, I really don't see an issue with it. If its for the others, perhaps they should have picked somewhere else.
I hear Peter Pan Park is pretty creepy at night. Of course, in that situation, people may not come back alive at the end...

Keep it sacred

So I suppose just because one person thinks it is sacred and hallowed, now I won't be allowed to go in for my genealogy research and take photos of MY family's headstones.

It isn't all about one person here. I actually LIKE learning about other people who are buried in the cemetery... you would be surprised the things one can find out about those who have long since passed on.
