serve a full menu of other seafood delights too. After our

early lunch we’ll be just minutes away from our leisurely

river cruise. We’ll have a 1 1/2 hour narrated tour on a

comfortable boat equipped with a canopy to protect us

from the sun as well as a restroom and bar.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE @ THE LEDDY CENTER

Wednesday, November 2nd

We’ll jump start the holiday season with this classic stage

production that centers around the life of George Bailey.

He spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the

good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But

in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal

over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations

of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clar-

ence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town,

family, and friends would turn out if he had never been

born. George meant so much to so many people; should he

really throw it all away? We’ll have dinner after the show at

Telly’s Restaurant in Epping.

Leave SS Center at 1:00pm and return approx. 4:30pm

Cost: $35.00 (Dinner $ on your own)
