More local fun is on the calendar for the RFSF weekend.  The 3rd Annual Porchfest is Saturday, September 11 throughout Town.  Porchfest was started by the Reading 375 Committee and features local musicians or bands playing at various houses through Reading.  (Info can be found on their Facebook page.)
 
In addition, Jeanne Borawski is heading up a commemoration of the 9/11 attacks on the Town Common.  This year is the 20th anniversary.
 
Rotary is partnering with Porchfest in sponsoring an essay writing contest.  Three selected entrants will read their essays on the impact of those events on the common.  The detail are listed below:
