Portsmouth Village Homecoming
April 19, 2008

SPECIAL HOMECOMING EVENTS

This year we celebrate the renovation of the Portsmouth Life-Saving Station.

The Homecoming program and dinner will be located on the Station grounds, as well as the Coast Guard drill. There will be people at the dock who will load your coolers, containers, chairs, etc. on carts and take them down to the Life-Saving Station area so you will be free to visit through the village in the morning without having to carry everything. Be sue to label your items.

The Post Office will offer a one-day-only special “Portsmouth” stamp cancellation. In addition to the Post Office and the Church, the Visitor Center, School, and some of the privately leased homes will be open to the public. For more information visit the Friends of Portsmouth Island web site.

The third Tuesday night of each month is Community History Night at the CSWM. Folks from the featured community prepare a traditional covered-dish supper featuring some of that communities best cooks, recipes and style. This experience is followed by a lecture and discussion on the history of that community including the events and people that have given each neighborhood its own unique story to tell. See what Sonny Williamson had to say about the September 21, 2004 event!

Reservations are encouraged and donations welcome.
Supper begins at 6; program at 7. Mark your calendars now.
