STORYTELLING FOR KIDS, ABOUT THE OLD DAYS IN THE NORTH END

The North End NPA has invited the Appletree Point Historical Society to present a program   for children and their families on July 24th at the Miller Center, 6:30pm.  There will be refreshments, and several prizes will be drawn from raffle tickets which will be given to the children. This will be fun!


APHS storytellers will share reminisces from their childhood, when the area was farms, and there was a trolley along the Avenue connecting us with downtown Burlington. APHS will explain why the North End isn't new, and experts who lived here as children will answer children's questions about what it was like here in the old days.



















Eric Farrel will wrap up the evening with a review of his final subdivision plans for Appletree Point Farm. Eric worked with members of APHS to secure preservation of  the original 1820 Staniford farmhouse.




Follow the APHS program, our City Councilors will explain their role in city government and ask the children what they want them to do for them. Overheard today was this remark: the kids will have lots of ideas that would raise our taxes.  Ayup.
