You won't want to miss this.
In cooperation with the Visual Arts Committee at the
Kittery Community Center
--KAA member
Bill Moore
has helped to organize a gallery exhibit honoring the demise of the old Sarah Mildred Long Bridge and the arrival of the new structure.
The Opening Reception on January 9th (if snowed out, then on the 16th) begins at 5:30. It will run until 7, then it moves into the Star Theatre for a special ninety minute projection and narration of photos detailing the Sarah Long Bridge's history and the construction details of the new Sarah. Then, at about 8:30, we go back into the Gallery for pastries (from Beach Pea) and coffee.
This event is open to the public, and you're invited!
