Essex River Day planned for Today
From the Beacon
Essex –
Essex River Day will be held Saturday, June 20 (rain date, Sunday June 21). It is a chance for everyone in town to enjoy one of its most valued resources: the Essex River. Those who have a boat will offer to take Essex friends and neighbors who may not have access “down river.”
This simple idea has grown into a full day of events, including a softball game, cookout, music and a bonfire.
Throughout the day, host captains and boat-owning families will be taking Essex guests down river. The harbormaster and chief of police, Pete Silva, will maintain a list of host captains and boat owners who would be willing to take folks down river. Those with available space on their boats, or who would like to be matched with a host captain and crew for a ride, may call the harbormaster at 978- 768-6628 or e-mail psilva@essexma.org.
Hosts and guests can work out themselves how they want to spend the day — cruising down river, visiting the beach, etc.
Several events have been scheduled during the day: For more, click here
