Live music
There is a lot happening in the tiny town of Bridgewater. The local historical association has live music on Thursday nights as well as an occasional Saturday from 6 – 9 p.m. Their music program is a bit different than others in the area. They feature a little less country and a little more old-time rock ‘n roll. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and everyone has a good time. So come on down and join the crew! All proceeds from the music program will go towards the purchase of much-needed sound equipment for the building.
For more information, please contact Denis Gagne at 429-8290 or Jann Votaw at 425-7901.

Ladies Stitch & *itch Group
The Bridgewater Recreation Department has formed a Ladies’ Stitch and & ‘itch Group. The group meets every other Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Bridgewater Civic Building. Ladies of all ages are invited to attend. There is no charge to attend.
This is an opportunity to bring whatever you are working on: cross-stitch, embroidery, scrapbooking, sewing, etc., and share good conversation while working on your favorite project. If you do not have anything to bring, that’s okay too, as others will be willing share and teach.
All are welcome – you don’t have to be a Bridgewater resident to participate, so bring your friends, too!
