To the Editor:
The Mattapoisett Museum and the Mattapoisett Land Trust hosted another successful Great Community Picnic. The weather cooperated allowing for an absolutely gorgeous evening in picturesque Munro Preserve. The event brings the community together to celebrate our beautiful, welcoming town and honor the contributions of two exceptional non-profit organizations.
On behalf of the Mattapoisett Museum and the Mattapoisett Land Trust, I want to especially thank the oyster farmers and musicians. Without these two components the picnic would be a dud. Bob Field, Dale Leavitt, and Mike Ward donated 600 local, fresh, delicious oysters. They also came with a team of shuckers and homemade fixings. Kim Field’s mignonette is out of this world. The music is essential and creates the festive vibe. Seth Assar and Gary Brown are talented, versatile musicians who turned the picnic into a party. Thanks to the generosity of these amazing folks, the Great Community Picnic was a resounding success.
Sincerely,
Jennifer N. McIntire (Secretary, Mattapoisett Museum)
