Volunteers Needed for Patriot’s Day Colonial Fair

Help

the City re-live Paul Revere's historic ride from Boston through Somerville and

onto Lexington and Concord. Volunteers are needed for the City's annual

Patriots Day Colonial Fair at Foss Park on Monday, April 21.

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 (we have clothing to lend or tips for what to wear!). We'll also teach

you games to lead including hop scotch, cat's cradle, hoop rolling and ring toss.

The events are sponsored by the City's Historic Preservation Commission,

Historic Somerville and the Somerville Museum, and will be held rain or shine

on Monday, April 21 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Foss Park.
