Bicentennial Celebration
1810 - 2010
| Date: | Friday, August 27, 2010 (During Street Fair) |
| Time: | 7 - 8:30 pm |
| Place: | Mill Stream Park, Maple St. |
Please come early and bring a lawn chair or blanket. Because of State Route 303 being closed for the fair, we are allowing only handicapped and senior citizen parking in the park. Others are being asked to take advantage of our special free shuttle service, available Friday night only! Beginning at 5:30 pm, two shuttles will be running from Riverside Rehabilitation Center on Grafton Rd (just west of SR 252), the Liverpool Community Center (6801 School St) , St. Paul's Church (1377 Lester Rd), LifeSpring Community Church (1638 Lester Rd), St Martin's Chuch (1800 Station Rd), and the parking lot behind the Town Hall. These shuttles will drop you off in Mill Stream Park and then take you back to your car following the concert. They will continue to run until 11:00pm for those who want to stop down at the fair. The last shuttle will leave from behind the Town Hall immediately following the Fire Department's drawing, to return the last of the crowd to their vehicles.
Bicentennial Log Cabin Playhouse
Congratulations to Log Cabin Playhouse Raffle Winners Craig, Jennifer & Cameron Morton!
We would also like to thank everyone who purchased raffle tickets.
The cabin is a model of the one that will be built in Mill Stream Park for the Bicentennial Celebration, and was constructed using the plans from the cabin that was built in 1962 for the Sesquicentennial Celebration.
