The Greenfield Historical Society hosted History Day on September 29th. It was a day of various activities at the buildings at the east end of town. Special exhibits were featured as well as craftspeople demonstrating their skills. There was even an "attic sale" for the community yard sale. And of course there was plenty of food.

We wish to give a special thank you to all the volunteers and the committee that worked so hard to put the day together. The committee consisted of Patsy Smith, Shirley Shields,Ed King, Hank Thompson, Johanna Thompson and Earlene Scott.

Thanks for all you dedication and hard work.
