Mayor Bruce Chuluda welcomes anyone interested in helping with the 30th edition of Westbrook Together Days to attend the first planning meeting on Wednesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
This year, Together Days will be held on June 5 and 6.
Back in 1980, when the first Together Days was held in Westbrook, it was intended to be a one-time only community party. Little did the organizers of the first event know that the idea would be such a success and still going strong 30 years later.
The Westbrook Woman’s Club was the driving force behind the origin of Together Days. The festival was not intended to be an annual event, but a small community get-together. In fact, the first festival wasn’t even called Westbrook Together Days. Back then, the party was called “Westbrook Together ’80.”
The American Journal is planning to publish a special section commemorating Together Days’ 30th anniversary, and invites readers to submit their memories of early Together Days festivities to be included the the publication. E-mail recollections and photos, along with name and telephone number, to Brendan Moran, executive editor, at bmoran@keepmecurrent.com.
