Parking is available in the cemetery, as well as on the adjacent BGSU
campus. We recommend entering the cemetery from Poe Road, turn south on

The Wood County Sheriff’s Department will provide free rides up to
the mound where the program will be held. Chairs are available, although those
attending are encouraged to bring a lawn chair. In case of heavy rain, the
program will be moved to the First United Methodist Church, 1506 E. Wooster St. Bowling
