The DHP grounds are the venue for the annual CumberlandFest which takes place this year from Friday 8/11 through Sunday 8/13, so we expect that there may be some take down and cleaning up going on during Monday, but expect a picnic area under the tall pines to be available to gather to share stories surrounding the first two weeks of August events and making plans for caching and events through the rest of the month.
Be it known, that Victory Day is an holiday observed in the state of Rhode Island with state offices closed on the second Monday of August. It was formerly a federal holiday in the United States from 1948 until 1975 and has historically commemorated the anniversary of Japan’s surrender to the Allies in 1945 which ended World War II.
