in
Willard Bass Park
on
Sunday, August 26, 2007 from Noon to 2:00 PM
All residents and others interested in the Town of Sharon, New Hampshire, are cordially invited to attend the Annual Sharon Picnic, first held in 1891.
Parking for the picnic will be at the Schoolhouse lot, also in the
guest parking area for Three Maples B&B (corner 123 & Mountain Road).
KINDLY DO NOT PARK ON ROUTE 123 
All residents and others interested in the Town of Sharon, New Hampshire are cordially invited to attend the Annual Sharon Picnic, first held in 1891. In 1897 Samuel W.
[Willard] Bass placed in trust a small parcel of land for the "purpose of holding thereon public picnics" and in 1933 Ruth Taggart Rice added a second parcel for the same
purpose. These parcels are our present Willard Bass Park.
Bring your picnic and your lawn chair to enjoy the Park, to get to know your Sharon
neighbors, and to welcome newcomers in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. A few contributions to the community dessert table are always welcome.
At about 1:00, we'll have the usual announcements about current events in Sharon, and a guest speaker, followed by a chance to schmooze and catch up with your neighbors from across town.
In case of rain, we will retire to the Town Meeting House.
As usual, the Trustees will "pass the hat" in the quest for donations toward the upkeep of the Park. This year, a special fund raising appeal will be for offsetting the cost of a new Willard Bass Park sign. Citizens are asked to contribute as generously as they wish to.
If you've never been to a Sharon Town Picnic, do come this year! Feel free to call any of the Trustees of Willard Bass Park listed below if you have any questions.
The Trustees of Willard Bass Park hope that you will come to the Sharon Town Picnic.
