Jefferson Heritage Day This Saturday

JEFFERSON –  It's a tradition many look forward to, with entertainment, fun, vendors and a parade. Jefferson Heritage Day will kick off this Saturday, July 13 at 9 a.m. as Professor John Polito does some interesting science stuff under the big tent on the town green in Jefferson. That's where the action will be centered. 

The parade steps off at 11 a.m. and marches from the south end of state Rt. 10 near the bus parking lot to Creamery Street and the town green. There are free activities for children, teens and adults throughout the day.

Some of the favorites include the Methodist Church where they have homemade pies and pie a'la mode for sale. There is also a quilt exhibit inside the church and there will be food and other vendors around the green.

The Jefferson Historical Society building will be open just down the street, where you can browse through some history or purchase a history book.

There will be antique cars on display, a live wildlife exhibition, children's games, face painting, a bounce house, and a slide.

Throughout the day there will be entertainment under the tent, including gospel singers, Patty and the Mygrains, and Mike Herman and the day will be capped off with Blues Maneuver and country rock band, sponsored by the Jefferson Historical Society. They will begin at 7:30 p.m..

There will also be a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle.

A  very small committee of volunteers works hard each year to bring Heritage Day together and are committed to bringing the townspeople of Jefferson and the surrounding area together to enjoy a day of free fun.
