Whoo! Whooo!!!
And there's Uncle Frank, he's gonna rob the bank, at the Junction...
I'm the train they call The City of New Britain,
I'll have gone five painful miles when the day is done.
Just drove by the Historic Society and they have a full house. I wish I had seen this blog and known what the crowd was for and I would have stopped!
I attended last night and the room was packed. It was a great presentation by Steve with additional facts provided by knowledgeable folks in the audience. Bristol has a great and interesting history.
These programs, one a month, are open to society members for free. If the attendance keeps growing they will need a bigger room and they are definitely headed in the right direction.
