Brimfield Picnic At Old Fairgrounds With 107 Attendees
Brimfield Sunday school and friends gathered at the old fairgrounds in French Grove last Friday drawing 107 picnickers. A sumptuous dinner followed and amusements were provided for children while the town’s seniors played a national game against married men. The married team led early but tiring players faded as the boys surged, leaving the older group exhausted and conceding. Many members reported sore muscles for days, and memories of past gatherings at the grounds were recalled with appreciation for the courtesy shown.
