Report of the Centennial Committee
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Mattapoisett :
Your Centennial Committee, appointed by the Town Meeting of 1955 to make plans for celebrating the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Mattapoisett, has had many meetings during the past year.
The dates for the celebration have definitely been set for August 3rd through August 10th of this year. Through our meetings, a tentative program for the week's celebration has been drawn up as follows:
Saturday, August 3 - Boating Regatta and water sports.
Sunday, August 4 - Special morning worship ser- vices in the churches and a giant clambake at 1:30 p.m.
Monday, August 5 - Teen-age Hop in the even- ing.
Tuesday, August 6 - Band Concert. We have a tentative promise of having one of the large U. S. military concert bands for this pro- gram.
Wednesday, August 7 - Centennial Pageant at 6 p.m.
79
Thursday, August 8 - Open date, to be used for the pageant in the event of inclement weath- er on Wednesday.
Friday, August 9 - Band Concert
Saturday, August 10 - Centennial Parade at 2 p.m .; Square Dance at 8 p.m .; Giant fire- works display starting at 10 p.m.
The committee has scheduled all major events for evenings or the weekend days so that the maximum number of people can be present.
In keeping with the spirit of a centennial cele- bration, a souvenir booklet is being made up and will be ready for distribution on or about July 1. This will contain a short history of the town, pictures and interesting anecdotes of points of historical in- terest in Mattapoisett, a complete program of events for the centennial week and a detailed description of the pageant by episodes. We will endeavor to make this booklet self-supporting through advertising and a small sales charge.
We will also request that townspeople presently living in some of the older houses in Mattapoisett and who feel that the houses are of historical interest will be willing to open these to the public on the after- noons of centennial week. Appropriate historical displays will be placed where they can be viewed inso- far as they are made available to us.
80
A notice was placed recently in the Presto Press and The Standard-Times requesting that anyone know- ing the name and address of former residents of Mat- tapoisett who would be interested in receiving infor- mation about this year's celebration to contact Mrs. Roland L. Morris, chairman of hospitality.
We are happy to report that we have designed this celebration around the $5,000 appropriation made at the 1956 Town Meeting as we feel that an appro- priate celebration can be held within this amount of money plus any gifts made available to us. There- fore, we are not requesting any additional appropria- tion from the town this year.
In connection with additional funds for the cele- bration, we wish to express our appreciation to the. 75th Anniversary Committee for their gift of $392.86. This amount was the balance left from their 75th an- niversary celebration fund and will now be used for the centennial celebration.
On July 28, 1956 an auction, sponsored by the centennial committee, was held under the chairman- ship of Mrs. Roland L. Morris. The amount raised through this endeavor was $235.85, which has been added to the centennial celebration fund.
Inasmuch as a celebration of this type can only be successful if everyone "pitches in" and works toward this end, we earnestly request that, after reading this report, you will contact one of the committee mem- bers and tell us in what part you would like to offer your services.
81
We have attempted to make this report rather general in nature. Anyone wishing information of more detail can obtain it by contacting one of the committee members. Watch the Presto Press and The Standard-Times for future publicity releases concern- ing the celebration.
