A parade of the kids (parents are welcome) will take place at 3:45 p.m. from the Rec parking lot all the way to the Huckle Hill Senior Housing. (This is almost a half mile.) Kids Carnival costs this year: $1 for 10 tickets.
Registration for the 3 vs 3 Basketball Tournament will start at 3:15 p.m.. (Chad Mulverhill is the coordinator for this event.)
We are proud to have our very own Tornadoes Jump Rope team doing a presentation for us this year! They would like to invite alumni from near and far to come ready to participate in “Kangaroo Kids”!
There will be a bake sale by donation. If you would like to help out, we need people to bake and people to man the table. We will have Blueberry Haus (4 p.m. to end of fireworks) and Kona Ice (4-6 p.m. only), Vernon Fire Dept, and Brattleboro Area Lions Club for food vendors this year.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church is hosting our Memorial Moment this year and will be leading a Patriotic Hymn Sing for us. Our own Tim Arsenault will be DJing for us through out the event starting at 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fireworks display will start promptly at 9:00 pm.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF THESE EVENTS. Donation buckets will be set up all around during the day. Any money raised through the bake sale, carnival, or collected in buckets goes towards TOWN PICNIC 2020. Please be prepared to have cash on hand for all of the activities.
