Sherman Center, Sherman, CT is the place to be on Memorial Day weekend! Don’t miss out!
Women can kick off the weekend at the Sherman library’s spirited, sociable Women’s Soirée on Friday, May 24, 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Enjoy wine, champagne, a buffet of sweets and savories, raffles, door prizes, and the company of friends and neighbors. This special event also includes a silent auction and off-the-rack items of new and like-new handbags, scarves and jewelry—all to be sold to benefit the library. This is a not-to-be-missed chance to wine, dine, mingle and shop. Tickets $25 in advance at the library or $30 online at www.shermanlibrary.org. For more information contact Ashleigh Blake at 860-354-2455 or ablake@biblio.org The Library is at 1 Sherman Center.
Be sure to get a good night’s sleep, though, for the weekend’s TWO HUGE SALES.
The 32nd annual BARN SALE at the Sherman Historical Society. Come early for the awesome bargains, fantastic finds, and wonderful quality items (including estate donations!). Stay (or come back) for lunchtime hot dogs and beverages. The Old Store Gift Shop, which always has wonderful items in stock, will be open as well. The Historical Society is located at 10 Route 37 Center, with convenient parking nearby. HOURS: Sat: 9 am to 3 pm. Sun: 9 am to noon.
All of the monies raised from the above events goes to support these worthy organizations and their many wonderful programs for- and services to- the community. While you hunt for bargains and treasures, you’ll feel good knowing that every penny you spend will, in turn, be well spent.
Join us for Sherman’s Annual Memorial Day Parade on Sunday at 1 pm. The Center will be closed to traffic for the event, so arrive early to find parking and a good viewing spot.
We hope to see you for all the holiday weekend’s special events, but, most importantly, we hope that you take time to pause and remember. We enjoy our freedom because of those who fought and sacrificed all for it. Everyday—but especially on Memorial Day—let us honor all those who have served and serve today with our deepest respect, pride, and appreciation.
