BOX ELDER COUNTY - September 8, 2021
Saturday, September 11, has been designated as the National Day of Service and many service projects are scheduled across the country to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11.
In Box Elder County, however, that day of giving service has been moved to September 18, so as not to conflict with the annual Peach Days celebration.
On that Saturday, a host of events are planned in all areas of the county, so there is a project that will suit any service desires. Here are a few that are planned (* denotes those within the Bear River Valley):
