Support the Portsmouth Historical Society - Attend the Harvest Social 2013 this Sunday!

Harvest Social 2013

You are invited to the Portsmouth Historical Society's 2013 Harvest Social for an “Old Fashioned Good Time”

        Sunday, October 20, 2013 Noon to 4PM

Historical Society Museum at the corner of Union St. and East Main Road

There will be games, prizes, and activities for young and old.  There may even be “guest appearances” from characters from Portsmouth’s past.  Come with an appetite.  There will be refreshments provided and baked goods for sale.  Sing along to some old-fashioned songs in the Church at 3 PM.

The Harvest Social is the Historical Society's main fund-raising event this year, so come and bid on their wonderful silent auction items.

This is always an informative and entertaining event and it is all for a good cause - supporting the collection, storage and maintenance of our historic buildings, artifacts, photos and documents.
