As a child, Town Meeting Day was like Christmas morning in March! I remember we'd get up early, dress a little nicer than the usual, meet up with friends, and most definitely get our little hands on something far too sweet for my mother's liking at 9am! :)
I remember wild and often escalated discussions on topics I didn't understand, but if it was important to my parents, it was important to me.
I also remember Town Meeting being a bustling social event with everyone I knew (a few generations deep) there, which was a much needed hit of humanity after what seemed to be the L O N G E S T staycation ever!
It is my hope that our efforts to (re)create the Town Meeting of my childhood will inspire you and your family- young and old- to come out this year to support AND celebrate our unique little town and all its offerings.
