Bridgewater Historical Association
The BHA would like to welcome everyone to come and enjoy the sounds of Outside In Thursday nights from 6 to 9 p.m. There is no cover charge, however, donations are greatly appreciated as they help keep this event and the hall in operation. Refreshments are available at the hall.
A dance will be held at the Bridgewater Historical Hall, 485 Main Rd. in Bridgewater, on Saturday, Aug. 31 from 8 p.m. to midnight. Tickets are $5. This will be a bit different as the music will be from CDs and not live. We wanted to give the members of Outside In a chance to take a break and join everyone on the dance floor. There will be lots of goodies to munch on during the night so come on out and join the fun. We look forward to seeing you there.
