FALL FESTIVAL
We had a great time at the fall festival where we set up a table and raffled off a gift basket from the Cracker Barrel store on 133, and a $20 gift card from Mann`s orchard ere in Methuen.
The weather cooperated and the vendors giving out free samples were there again. If you have kids, put this on your list of things to do next year.
WEEKEND EVENTS
We have two events happening. The first is this Saturday, the fall festival at greycourt, behind city hall. From 11-2 or so. we will be setting up just before 11 and its usually done by 2. we will be raffling off a few items to help bring people to the table. its usually a good time, music, food, kids running around in costumes. so come by and say hi and stay to help out with the table.
