Upcoming Event!
School's (Almost) Out Strawberry Social!
Sunday, June 23, 2013 1:00 pm
Pratt House, 19 West Avenue, Essex
It's that time of year again when the days are long, children anticipate the last day of school and strawberries start to ripen and ready for the summertime favorite dessert — strawberry shortcake. And what better way to celebrate the end of another school year and the beginning of summer than fun, games and strawberry shortcake? EHS is holding its Annual School's Almost Out Strawberry Social Sunday, June 23, 2013 — mere days before the local children are released for summer vacation. We always have a fantastic time as well as more than enough servings of homemade strawberry shortcake to go around and we would love to have some hungry kids come help us eat it all. But first, build up that appetite with exciting activities and games fit for the whole family, including a childrens' colonial obstacle course. It won't matter who wins or who loses because everyone will be having a good time in good company. And as a special treat, the Sailing Masters will add to our festive mood with their musical talents.
Founded three years ago, the Annual Preservation Award is presented to a building that has been preserved or restored in accordance with the period in which it was originally constructed. Past years' winners have been Ivoryton Library (2011) and Centerbrook Meetinghouse (2012). The votes have been pouring in for the 2013 winner and we are all excited to see what structure will be the victor! The Third Annual Preservation Award will be presented at the Strawberry Social.
So come one, come all to Pratt House, 19 West Avenue, Essex on Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 1:00 pm, rain or shine! This event is FREE and everyone is invited. The Sailing Masters start their serenade at 2:00 pm.
