Carpenters’ Hall to commemorate 250th anniversary of First Continental Congress this fall with free performances
[ad_1]
The First Continental Congress was held at Carpenters’ Hall in 1774, and the 250th anniversary of the historic event will be commemorated this fall with a series of free performances at the Philly landmark.
Every Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 27, actors will portray First Continental Congress delegates, their spouses and other figures of the time period during live reenactments at Carpenters’ Hall. The “Building Independence” series will feature performances at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Carpenters’ Hall hosted the First Continental Congress from Sept. 5 to Oct. 26, 1774. There were 56 delegates representing 12 out of 13 colonies in attendance, and the group met in order to formulate a response to Great Britain’s increasing taxation on the colonies. Carpenters’ Hall was chosen as the meeting spot because it was privately owned — by the Carpenters’ Company of Philadelphia trade association — making it a safer spot to meet out of view of British agents.
The First Continental Congress may not have ended in immediate calls for revolution — that happened in 1776 during the Second Continental Congress at Independence Hall — but it did serve to bring more unity to the colonies and was the first step toward achieving independence.
Among the people portrayed during the “Building Independence” reenactments will be John Adams, Abigail Adams, Patrick Henry and John Rutledge. The short scenes will cover Continental Congress topics like taxation, slavery and independence, and the effects that the delegates’ policies had on their families and other people living in the colonies. There will also be quotable historic moments during the reenactments, like when Henry exclaimed during a speech, “I am not a Virginian. I am an American.”
“Building Independence,” which is happening through a partnership between the Carpenters’ Company and Historic Philadelphia, Inc., is also part of the festivities for the Carpenters’ Company’s 300th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of the completion of Carpenters’ Hall.

The animated series has reigned as the most-watched animated series for 22 consecutive years, according to Paramount.
The show’s 25th anniversary was commemorated this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, where Nickelodeon announced that “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill will voice the villainous Flying Dutchman in the upcoming fourth SpongeBob film, “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants,” scheduled for a 2025 premiere.

Red, White, & Blue To-Do event on July 2 is a founding father’s dream come true
[ad_1]
This summer, a founding father’s centuries-old idea will come to fruition when a new patriotic festival in Philadelphia honors the nation’s independence two days before the Fourth of July.
The first Red, White, & Blue To-Do event will be held Tuesday, July 2, the Philadelphia Historic District partners announced Monday. Museums, historic sites and businesses throughout Old City will celebrate the founding of America with decorations, concerts, games, restaurant specials and extended hours.
MORE: FDR Park’s Southeast Asian Market to open for the season May 4
July 2, 1776, is the day the Continental Congress voted in Philly’s Independence Hall to declare freedom from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was officially approved by representatives from the colonies two days later, on July 4, which has come to be recognized as America’s Independence Day. Nevertheless, John Adams — who would become the nation’s second president — believed July 2 should be recognized as a national holiday.
“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival,” Adams wrote of July 2. “It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade with shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
Cultural and historic sites participating on July 2 include the African American Museum in Philadelphia, the Arch Street Meeting House, the Betsy Ross House, the National Constitution Center, the National Liberty Museum and Elfreth’s Alley. Participating restaurants include AMINA, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar, Forsythia, Khyber Pass Pub, Las Bugambilias and Royal Boucherie.
The festivities will kick off at 9 a.m. with flag raising and a children’s naturalization ceremony at the Betsy Ross House. Then at 11 a.m., the Red, White, Blue To-Do Pomp & Parade will kick off at the National Constitution Center and travel along Independence Mall.
Starting at noon will be an barbecue, with lunch specials throughout Old City. Later in the afternoon, visitors can enjoy musical performances at Arch Street Meeting House, African American Museum in Philadelphia, National Liberty Museum and Elfreth’s Alley. To finish out the day’s events, there will be extended attraction hours and food specials throughout the district from 4-7 p.m.
A full schedule and list of participants can be found online.
“Red, White, & Blue To-Do highlights the significance of Philadelphia’s historical landmarks and institutions — it’s a testament to our shared commitment to preserving and promoting our legacy as the birthplace of our nation,” Vince Stango, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the National Constitution Center, said in a release.
There will be plenty of “pomp and parade” in the days leading up to the festival as well. Red, White, & Blue To-Do Decorating Days will be held throughout Old City from June 29 through July 1. At the National Constitution Center, visitors can decorate a wagon “float” for the parade on July 2. There will also be decoration stations at each Historic District attraction, and the district itself will be outfitted with bunting, balloons and begonias throughout Independence Week.
The announcement of this new patriotic festival comes as Philadelphia prepares to celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026 with a year-long celebration. According to organizers, the Red, White, & Blue To-Do will debut this summer and continue to “get bigger and more joyful each July 2 through 2026 and beyond.”

- ‘Cover Girl’ The Album Slated for Release on Oct. 27, 2023
NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 13, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
As the holiday season approaches, country mainstay Aaron Watson is thrilled to announce that the second annual ‘An Aaron Watson Family Christmas’ will return beginning December 1st. Last year, Aaron’s passionate fanbase sold out the shows in Abilene so quickly, this year it had to be bigger and better, offering six different opportunities to get into the holiday spirit.An Aaron Watson Family Christmas is the perfect holiday night for the whole family. Packed full of Christmas classics and songs from his critically acclaimed Christmas album of the same name, plus some of Aaron’s most popular hits, Aaron and the band, along with special appearances from the Watson family, will all perform together. The event will also feature special surprises sure to put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Tickets are in limited supply and are on sale now at aaronwatson.com.
“I love Christmas time, I love the holiday spirit and I love celebrating the reason for the season, the true meaning of Christmas,” Watson says. “These shows are extra special to me personally because I get to share the stage with my family, my band and their families, and it’s a show where the fans get to make new Christmas memories with their families as well.”
Coming later this month on October 27, Watson will release Cover Girl, a collection of features with rising female artists covering songs that have shaped the Texas native throughout his life. While showing his daughter, Jolee Kate iconic songs of the past that he thought she would love, it sparked an idea to cover these songs and the added bonus of being able to give a platform to rising independent female artists made this project come to life in such a fun way.
Listen to recent releases “9 To 5” HERE and “Million Reasons” HERE.
Watson holds the spot as the first independent male country artist who debuted an album at No. 1 on the Billboard Country chart. In his illustrious career, he has earned awards, hundreds of millions of streams, and shared the stage with country legends. Currently on the Roughstock Roadshow headlining tour, he’s hitting cities across the country.

Rescue Village’s 29th annual Woofstock Dog Festival will take place on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, from 10-4 p.m. at the Cleveland Metroparks Polo Field, Chagrin Falls, Ohio.Woofstock, a festival for animal lovers and their dogs, is a family-friendly day of music, food trucks, a beer garden, vendors, and games and contests for people and their dogs, all for a good cause. A Woofstock favorite is the Lure Courses, donated and operated by SwiftPaws (as seen on Shark Tank), and includes a dog photo package. Adoptable dogs, activities for kids, and much more make Woofstock a one-of-a-kind, iconic annual event. More than 3,500 people and 2,500 dogs attended 2021 Woofstock, helping raise $120,000 towards Rescue Village’s mission, and the humane society hopes to grow even more in 2022.
Only one dog can be the alpha of Woofstock’s 2,000 dog pack, and this year’s inaugural Woofstock Alpha Dog is a Rescue Village Alumni named Cole. Cole is a Boxer/Pitbull/Labrador mix who was adopted from Rescue Village in 2019 when he was 3 ½ years. Before his new family adopted Cole, he bounced around shelters because he feared other dogs and suffered much kennel stress.
Cole is now a cartoon celebrity thanks to Rescue Village’s cartoonist-in-residence Jenny Campbell. As befitting the alpha dog of northeast Ohio’s biggest dog festival, Cole has been drawn into the 2022 Woofstock logo. Other Cole cartoons will be used to promote the event and help represent the mission of Rescue Village.
In addition to a fun day spent outside with a canine best friend, Woofstock gives people a chance to help Rescue Village’s homeless animals get medical care and a loving family by participating in the Woofstock Ramble or by purchasing the popular annual Woofstock T-shirt.
The Ramble is a fundraising walk/parade that kicks off the festival at 10 a.m. Ramblers can fundraise as individuals or teams, with prizes going to the top fundraisers in several categories.
