Despite the damp cloud-filled start, it was a fun and exciting day and happily, we raised money for the Tiverton Land Trust’s land protection fund. More importantly, people had a chance to learn about the importance of land preservation… it was truly a memorable community event. Sincere thanks to all who came and enjoyed the wonder of the Preserve with its trails, historic cemetery and open spaces.   We had over 50 volunteers from Tiverton and surrounding towns including students from Tiverton High School who gave their time, talent and energy before, during and after the event. The local business community supported the event not only through their generous financial sponsorship but with their participation in our marketplace and raffle as well as providing some of the wonderful food offerings to be had. With the participation of organizations such as Tiverton’s Recycling Committee, PawsWatch, Friends of the Library and more, and individual artisans such as local Blacksmith, Jay Christman… just to mention a few… people were able to explore areas of interest to them. We cannot forget the numerous farmers in the area who arrived with their antique tractors for display and for pulling while others brought pumpkins for decorating, animals for the petting by the Hibbard Family of Marsh View Farm as well as produce for sale by the new Sakonnet Growers Market. Our pie contest was a success due to the efforts of the bakers, the committee members and the three judges. We were charmed by the Precious Pet Contest organized by members of Placing Paws.   Please support our generous and gracious sponsors. And the many helpers, volunteers and friends that were on hand to make this day such a success!
