| APRIL 6, 2016 -- We can tell it’s spring in Winchester Grange not by the temperature or the budding leaves and flowers but by the growing list of events and activities at the Grange.
Due to a lack of candidates this time around, we have canceled degree conferrals in April in favor of regular meetings. The Apr. 12 meeting will feature a CWA program by chairman Shirley Lemieux. The subject will be hats.
On May 21 we will have our annual Spring Tag Sale with many items piling up at the hall already. If you would like to make a donation or are interested in maybe having your own table, please let us know- 860-307-1522 or info@winchestergrange.org.
Looking ahead: There will be meetings in June but for now we are skipping over them to highlight two important and eagerly anticipated events. The first will be our Spring Super Prize Party (it’s a giant country store or teacup auction) on June 3 beginning with ticket sales at 6 P.M. and the drawing will begin at 7 P.M. Then the Iceland Affair Concert will be held at the hall on the evening of June 18. Organizer Gerri Griswold has revamped the event this year to save some expense but it promises to be just as amazing as it has been the last few years. The lectures an programs that had been held at the Grange hall the last couple of years will be held at White Memorial in Litchfield during that day and then activities move to Winchester Grange for a concert of Icelandic performers that evening. It’s a special event that Winchester Grange proudly sponsors each year. It’s a unique event that celebrates the unique island country of Iceland.
The following day will be the annual Father’s Day Strawberry Festival from 2-5 P.M. at the Grange Hall. Heaping portions of Strawberry Shortcake with homemade biscuits and whipped cream. What better way to top of a great weekend in Winchester Center?
