1st Annual Summer Walkabout
a Huge Success
The Chamber, in collaboration with Bedford's Business Development and Healthy Bedford initiatives held the first Summer Walkabout in the high heat of July at Veteran's Memorial Park. Premier sponsor The Higgins Group offered youngsters an opportunity to tie dye t-shirts and The Learning Express Toy Store set up shop on the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail with Elsa and Elmo leading hula hoops and chalk games. Red Heat Tavern served delicious fresh lemonade and The Bedford Children's Center gave out balloons. There was live music and the event was attended by over 150 Bedford residents. Congratulations to all who participated in what will surely become another great Bedford tradition.
