MILLERTON — Friends of Spencer’s Corners Burying Grounds invites the public to scrub and rub headstones and enjoy a free breakfast Sunday, Aug. 11.

Free coffee and donuts will be available for all who attend. The group will split into two teams; one doing the “big scrub” and the other doing the “big rub.”

Scrubbers will apply a non-toxic cleaning solution to the headstones, scrubbing away algae and dirt. Gloves, brushes and sprayers provided. Rubbers will use special paper to reveal the long-faded inscriptions and epitaphs.
