Memorial Day Weekend Around Des Moines

Originally called Decoration Day. Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971. We observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries, attending parades and honoring fallen soldiers. Memorial Day has also become the unofficial start of the summer season. Summer at Farm Boy Garage is always an exciting time of year. There are gatherings, festivals and family get-togethers. Your one-stop restoration shop would like to tell you about events around the Des Moines area that are happening this Memorial Day weekend.
