Old Stone Dock Association members walked in the annual parade which stepped off at noon on Sunday, 12/04/16. They sported a new color banner designed for the Bicentennial and handcrafted by member Kathy Hall. Trent and Jacob Tessier carried the banner and members Kevin Doyle, Paul Smith and Jim Fox proudly walked behind it (see featured picture).
The Annual after the Parade Holiday Party took place at ShoreWay Acres Inn from 2 to 4 p.m. It was attended by over 100 members and guests including several public officials. Dorie and Greg Ketterer were the perfect hosts and there was a delicious buffet enjoyed by all. The buffet included an 1817 Sampler of Falmouth Comfort Foods including Indian Pudding, Baked Beans, Brown Bread and Apple Cranberry Crisp.
The children enjoyed face painting by OSDA member Kathy Hall and gingerbread house decorating sponsored by OSDA members Dorie & Greg Ketterer of ShoreWay Acres.
New Old Stone Dock Association Logo Wear was available for sale featuring an updated logo – ‘1817 Bicentennial 2017’.
Don Hoffer, retiring Beach Superintendent was honored for his service to the town and in particular Surf Drive Beach by President Kevin Doyle.
