Hello! The Kings County Historical & Archival Society, Inc., would like to let your members know about a Heritage Day we are planning for Saturday, August 22nd, 2009, at the Baptist Church Hall, Route 124, Hatfield Point, Kings County, N.B. There will be no admission for this event, and all are welcome. Displays will be set up in the church hall. A genealogy workshop will start at noon. From 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. an antiques appraisal of your treasures will take place on a first come first serve basis. To reserve your spot, please phone the Kings County Museum at (506) 832-6009, or email: [email protected] At 4:30 p.m. there will be an auction of the remaining items from the former Hatfield Point Community Hall. Included in the auction will be several century-old benches from the Original Imperial Order of Foresters Hall. At 5 p.m. bring a picnic lunch, and perhaps a bit extra to share. Tea, water and chairs (inside and outside) will be available. You could bring a blanket or chairs and find a special spot for a picnic! Starting at 6:30 p.m. at the main gate of the nearby Bayview Cemetery, people will gather to hear stories from the cemetery. For several years the Society has sponsored a Ghost Walk with participating ghosts telling their stories. This year we invite anyone who has a story to tell to take part. All it takes is the reading of a script that starts with "I am ........", and the participants are to stand by the particular monument, perhaps with some costume to reflect the time! As a fundraiser to help with expenses, tickets on one of the old hall benches will be on sale at $5.00 each. Please be generous with your support as the Kings County Museum depends upon fundraising to cover part of the annual budget. The winning ticket will be drawn at the end of the day. Various parts of Heritage Day will be recorded and edited to a DVD. To receive a copy leave your name, address and $20.00 at the Kings County Museum display. The DVD will be mailed when it is completed. We look forward to seeing you at our Heritage Day event. Nancy Meech
