 Canterbury Historical Society Thanks Sponsors
  September 15th, 2008
 
 

The society gratefully acknowledges the following sponsors of our two major 2008 fall events—annual old-fangled Canterbury Old Home Day on September 20 on Canterbury Green, and the rousing October 12 bluegrass concert at the Finnish American Heritage Society Hall featuring the Gibson Brothers and Bear Minimum.

Old Home Day is not really put on by the society as a fundraiser, but sponsorships are important in helping to defray costs. All the money we clear from the bluegrass concert will directly support the society's projects and programming.

Many thanks to:
