The Trustees of the Bacon Free library, the Friends of the Bacon Free Library, and the Historical Society will present a Springfest on the Library grounds. The Museum will be open and you are invited to view the new spring bulb garden and landscape plantings. There will be refreshments and entertainment by a Jazz Band. There will be a dedication of three benches, one in memory of Rita Fedderson by the Friends of the Library, and benches in honor of Anne Feen, former Library Director, and Frederick & Anne Schaller by the Library Trustees. Come enjoy an afternoon by the Charles River on our newly landscaped surroundings.

Robert Gee, hobbyist and collector of antique radios will talk on the history of radio and the split-up of the networks. He will display antique radios and give a presentation of excerpts from old-time radio programs. There are still some of us who remember Amos & Andy, and Jack Benny. Come and enjoy a dose of nostalgia.
