28 SONGS BREWHOUSE SUPPORTS WREATHS OF HONOR 🎀

Recently, volunteers gathered at 28 Songs Brewhouse + Kitchen for the second annual Wreaths of Honor workday, where they refreshed wreaths with new red bows to prepare them for placement at the historic Boerne Cemetery. It was a heartfelt morning that brought neighbors together to honor veterans resting there.

The wreath-laying event takes place this Saturday at 10 am, and additional volunteers are still welcome. The morning will include a guest speaker, a JROTC flag ceremony, and help from several local Boy Scout troops.

If you'd like to be part of it, you can find volunteer details at poweredbysenergy.com/wreaths-of-honor. And when the event wraps up, 28 Songs is just around the corner for lunch, a cold beer, or something warm from the kitchen after a meaningful morning. Take a look at their menu here: 28songs.beer
