The Kaleden Irrigation District over the past couple of years has embarked on two projects in the Kaleden Cemetery which overall enhance the beauty of the cemetery. One is the gate project and the other is the contemplation seating area. Funding was acquired through donations, grants and KID budget funding. A lot of time and effort was put in by numerous people. We are having a RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY on location in June and wish to invite you!! This will be an opportunity to share memories and stories and enjoy some coffee / cake and goodies! The date has not been finalized as yet… stay tuned.
