I was about to send this around for approval for the Visitors Center lawn but then noticed they would also like to go on
the Battle Green. This is an event for kids. They do something similar to this in the summer I guess (???). They’d have
some of the members for the Minutemen and the other group (name is blanking from me) and would go over what
happened in 1775. This would take place on the Visitors Center lawn starting at 10am – around 11:30am, they’d walk
over to the Battle Green and do a demonstration – no firing of muskets. They’d be done at 12. Can you add this to the
next BOS meeting? Let me know if you need more info.
