This year, the HCC wants to know what the cultural interests and needs of residents are before awarding the grants. Stop by the Harvard Public Library and fill out the cultural needs survey so the council may best serve the community. The fourth annual Harvest Moon Dinner, a benefit for the Harvard Teen Center, will be held on Friday, November 2. A delicious sit-down dinner by Chef Paul and a silent auction will be the main events of the evening. Margaret Grogan is in the process of searching for donated prizes and gift certificates for the auction.
Parking is free of charge.
The nearly 200 booths will be stocked with antique and attic treasures, clothing, crafts, and homemade baked goods and jellies. The food court will sustain market-goers with hot food, snacks, and refreshments. In its 30th year, the Columbus Day Flea Market is a fundraiser for the League of Women Voters of Harvard and the Harvard Conservation Trust. In case of rain or poor field conditions, the flea market will take place on Monday, October 8. The main topic is selecting the type and placement of new trees throughout the center of town.
