The Annual Dogwood Day in Galena was held on a beautiful May Saturday, May 18, 2019. The day began with a little cloudy weather but the forecast called for a sunny day. Considering that last year’s Dogwood day it poured rain, that was a relief for the organizers, the Galena VFC. By the time of the parade at 10, the sun was out for the remainder of the day.
