Happy Fourth of July!


                       Shrewsbury Celebrates the Fourth of July
            
Shrewsbury’s Annual Fourth of July Celebration will take place at Dean Park on Wednesday. The festivities will start with a bike and doll carriage parade at noon.  Children’s games and family picnics will follow.

My favorite was activity was always the pie eating contest. (Helpful hint: Don’t wear white to eat blueberry pie.)  I worked for Parks and Rec years ago when this tradition started. There was a BIG parade from the Town Hall to Dean Park and a rock concert at night. One year we had a greased pig contest. I don’t know if anyone ever caught Porky. Maybe he is still hiding out somewhere in town.
