Wake Up Tri-Counties Galva Mayor Rich Volkert Talks October 6, 2025, Council Meeting

Galva Mayor Rich Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to recap the October 6, 2025, city council meeting and talk about upcoming events in Galva. Discussion about Freedom Fest was the highlight of the meeting. So far, they have raised around $21,000 towards the 2026 Fourth of July fireworks show. There is a trivia fundraiser on November 8th to raise funds for fireworks. Residents are reminded to remove all artificial and potted flowers, plants, shepherd’s hooks, and figurines from gravesites by Sunday, October 19th. Military markers and solar lights are allowed to stay, but no new items may be placed on graves until Saturday, October 25th. Any personal tributes left past the deadline will be removed and disposed of to help keep the cemetery grounds tidy and accessible for maintenance. Those seeking more information or updates can contact City Hall or visit their website for assistance.
