Rep. Sally Kerans and June Curtis sponsored the public reading of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 AM at the Library Pavilion. I learned from MaryAnn Kowlowski that this is the 10th year for this event. It was my first time attending and wasn’t quite sure what to expect.
It was a very well attended event with many people taking time out on their 4th of July morning to come to the park to listen to fellow townspeople read our Declaration of Independence. Members of the Danvers Alarm attended to formally notify the people of Danvers that the colonies had declared independence from England. People lined up to read a paragraph or a sentence. The readers were of all ages from 3 or 4 middle or high schoolers to senior citizens. There were quite few DanversDems attending as readers and as part of the audience. I found it to be a more moving experience than I thought it would be. Well Done!!
