The Honor Guard for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1981 participates in the blessing and dedication of Griffin Hall’s new addition. The hall was originally the site of a one room schoolhouse that was the first home of St. Joachim School when it opened in 1927. The town’s old Catholic church used to sit next to the hall.
