[Mitchell I. Wolfe]

LCTG meeting about free Lexington MA Independence Day events...
-- Mitch

Declaring Independence Then & Now [1]
Thursday, July 4th 7PM, The Depot, 13 Depot Square, Lexington Center
"This dramatic presentation, created by Freedom's Way National Heritage 
Area, aims to find out how our local towns read and reacted to the 
Declaration of Independence. Across the colonies, and particularly in 
Massachusetts, towns debated what freedom meant to them, and grappled 
with the grievances aired in the official Declaration. What did the 
words in the final document mean to them? Costumed reenactors will bring 
life to the words of the past, with narration by former State 
Representative Jay Kaufman. Rounding out our evening will be a 
performance by the Lexington Historical Society Colonial Singers. Some 
of our favorite tunes from the 18th century were highly political, and 
many of them were also taken from popular English military music! FREE!" 
[Also usually free ice cream.]

Summer Concert - 215 Army Band [2]
Friday, July 5th 6:30PM-8PM, Emory Park, Depot Square, Lexington Center
"The 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts Army National Guard remains 
one of the nation's finest military bands. For more than 60 years, the 
band has performed throughout New England and the world, bringing the 
Army's fine musical traditions and goodwill to thousands of listeners."

The Lions Club of Lexington fireworks [3]
