Everyone Has a Story to Tell Exhibit
Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library 680 Radcliffe Street Bristol
6:00pm – 8:00pm

Storytelling is a long-standing oral tradition that plays a pivotal role in preserving personal, family and world stories as well as a means of sharing them across generations. A program to collect stories began this spring at the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library, 680 Radcliffe Street. Those efforts culminate in the event Everyone Has a Story to Tell, an exhibit celebrating diversity through unique personal stories this fall at the Library. On Thursday, October 1, 2015 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm the public is invited to attend the exhibit opening to experience some of the collected stories, and to learn more about Bristol’s diverse historic community. The exhibit continues through October 31, 2015 during regular library hours.

Monkeys Uncle Family Super Hero Party
James Lorah House 132 N Main St Doylestown

So you’re invited to join two big super heroes, whose identity we’re sworn to keep secret (for now)! Your ticket guarantees you entry into the James Lorah house, which we’ll be turning into our own Monkey Cave for the night, plus entertainment provided by CB Cares Educational Foundation, and food and beverages for the whole family, including desserts provided by Autism Cares! Plus we’ll have even more fun planned with an old school video game arcade, candy bar, face painting, arts & crafts, and more!
