This year Heritage Days will feature twenty hands-on living history demonstration areas, a Highway Legends Cruise-In with classic and antique cars, a traditional antique fire truck muster organized by the T.I. Hose Haulers, entertainment including music and dance, and local heritage activities. The heritage displays and food will be presented through partnerships with members of the Italian American Civic Association, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, North Country Goes Green and the German-American Club. Mr. Garvey said Bill will be missed and someone hard to replace. Mr. Wood noted the generosity of the many volunteers who donate their time, the hundreds of people throughout the north country who donate funding including the businesses, families and individuals have made the past successes possible. A few individuals and organizations were recognized by the JCHS at the inaugural History on the Water: Awards of Distinction Dinner. The mission of the JCHS is worth the time, worth the donations and support to preserve and present the treasures of local history for this and future generations.
