Rebecca Rule – Moved and Seconded, NH Town Meeting
October 13, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Great News! NH writer and humorist, Rebecca Rule, is coming back to Wakefield for a free open-to-the public program on October 13 at 1 p.m. in our church sanctuary. Rebecca Rule hosted the New Hampshire Authors Series for ten years on NHPBS and now hosts Our Hometown on NHPBS. She’s been telling stories in New England, especially NH, for more than thirty years. She hasn’t visited every town in the Granite State, but has found her way to many of them — speaking at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them.”
Drawing on research from her book, Moved and Seconded: Town Meeting in New Hampshire, the Present, the Past, and the Future, Rebecca Rule regales audiences with stories of the rituals, traditions, and history of town meeting, including the perennial characters, the literature, the humor, and the wisdom of this uniquely New England institution.
This program is being provided to us by New Hampshire Humanities. We hope you will join us for the program which will be followed by refreshments in the church hall.
