August Events Planned For Dighton’s Tri-Centennial
The following events are planned for August in celebration of Dighton’s Tri-Centennial: 1. Saturday, August 18 at 10:00 a.m. south of the Harodite Dam begins a Canoe and Kayak Adventure along the Three Mile and Taunton Rivers. Contact Read More Books for more information (508) 822-3074. Event is free of charge. PFD’s required. 2. Saturday, August 18 at 2 00 p.m., at St Nicholas of Myra Church Hall, The History of Dighton Rock, a presentation by Dr. Manuel Luciano da Silva, M.D. followed by a visit to Dighton Rock State Park in Berkley to view the rock. Sponsored by St. Nicholas of Myra Church, this event is free of charge. 3. Saturday evening, August 25 at 7:00 p.m. there will be a Colonial Fashion Show at St. Nicholas of Myra Church Hall. Anyone who has a colonial outfit is invited to participate. We especially hope that all those folks who participated in the sewing bees held earlier this year will take part and model the outfits they have made. This is sponsored by the Tri-Centennial Ball and Special Events Committee in conjunction with the Dighton Community Church and is also free of charge, although donations for the Tri-Centennial Ball and related events will be gratefully accepted.
General Tri-Centennial Information And Important Requests:
1. The Tri-Centennial Ball and Special Events Committee is looking for photographs for the Ball Program Book that will be handed out at the Tri-Centennial Ball on September 29th. Photographs of the l962 Ball would be especially appreciated and we are finding those difficult to locate. Do you have any old photographs that we could copy or that you could email to our address? Please contact Myrna Santos (508) 669-6944 for more information, or contact us at email dightonballcommittee@aol.com. 2. Nancy Goulart, Former Selectman, is working very hard with other folks to compile a Tri-Centennial keepsake book that will update Dighton’s history over the past 50 years since the book that was written in 1962. Her committee asks that anyone who has any information or who would like to assist in doing research for this project please contact her at ngoulart@comcast.net . Everyone is encouraged to help in this historic labor of love and dedication to our town and its 300th birthday year.
