Devon Day Arriving This Weekend

Devon Day, established a few short years ago is having a continuation of its annual celebration. This event started by Nanci Seltzer was off to a slow start. The event, of which features a family walk starting at the clock tower at the Bridgeport Ave. Stratford town line, will then continue on to the nearby park at Grove Circle and Intervale Parkway where there will be music and other activities.

The date of this event is July 19, 2008 and will begin at 9:00A.M. with the family walk. All participants will receive a free Devon Day water bottle. The family walk is 1.6 miles long and is intended to bring people out in the open air and restore community pride.

In my personal endeavors down in Devon, I believe that all politics are local and such events are a wonderful way to get people out talking to one another. This is one event I highly recommend to all Devon residents and beyond to participate in.
