SHPC Seeking Volunteers for Patriot's Day Ceremonies

Volunteers Needed for 2013 Colonial Fair at Foss Park, Monday, 4/15

SOMERVILLE - The
City of Somerville's Historic Preservation Commission is seeking volunteers for
the 2013 Patriot's Day ceremonies, scheduled for Monday, April 15th
from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Foss Park.  Help
the City re-live Paul Revere's historic ride from Boston through Somerville and
onto Lexington and Concord.  Adults and high school students are needed to
volunteer at the City's annual Patriots Day Colonial Fair.

 

 

Volunteers will help residents learn about life in the late
1700s by leading Colonial era games, serving refreshments, and distributing and
stamping Colonial Passports.  To set the scene, all volunteers will dress
in Colonial era clothing, and we have clothing to lend and tips for what to
wear of your own.  We'll also teach you games to lead, including hop
scotch, cat's cradle, hoop rolling and ring toss.  Volunteers are needed to help set up
beginning at 9:00 a.m., and to break down until noon.

 

 

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact
Brandon Wilson at BWilson@somervillema.gov,
or 617-625-6600 ext 2532.
