| The Downtown
barrels in Bremen are blooming again this year thanks
to the dedication of the Bremen Rushcreek Fire Department
and D&S Greenhouses located just out side Bremen.
The Bremen Barrel project was started two years ago
by the Bremen Downtown Volunteer Corps. using donations
collected by the organization. Currently there are 11
barrels downtown. The flowers downtown really brighten
up Bremen's Historic Downtown District and if it were
not for Dave with D&S Greenhouses donating the flowers
and the volunteer firefighters with the Bremen-Rushcreek
fire department watering the barrels daily through the
week, this project would not be possible. If you see
Fire Chief Joe Westenbarger or any of the volunteer
firefighters please thank them for their commitment
to this project and service to our community.

Bremen Masonic Lodge members sponsored
the June 3rd Downtown Work Day in Bremen's Historic
Downtown District.
A special thanks goes to the Bremen
Masonic Lodge brothers for donating their time and talents
painting and restoring a faded store front of the Shellhammer
Building in downtown Bremen. The project was identified
by the Bremen Downtown Volunteer Corp. based on the
condition of the front facade and its visibility in
the district. The Bremen Chamber of Commerce helped
provide the supplies, the Bremen Lodge provided the
volunteers and the Millers, owners of the Pizza Station
provided a great lunch for the workers. Shawn Carder,
Danny Williams, Ed Pool and Troy Tripp all helped with
the project. The project cost $125.00 and took 4 guys
a total of 20 hours to complete.
Be a part of future work days in
Bremen's Historic Downtown District. Workdays are always
the first Saturday morning of each month starting at
8:00 am. Future work days are as follows: July 1st,
August 5th, September 2nd, and October 7th.
