Bridge Rally Details Announced

Wednesday, April 22, 2009—This just in: the details of Tuesday’s Save Our Bridges! Rally, scheduled for Noon on Tuesday, April 28, at John Paul Jones Park in Kittery. Thanks to Ben Porter, at PortsmouthBridges.com, for sending this.

As of today, the weather prediction is for sunny weather and a high of 73 degrees. You can take this with a grain of salt, but it makes us feel better to hear what the weather service thinks.

The Rally will take place at John Paul Jones Park, just across the street from Warren’s Lobster House in Kittery. We expect a sizable crowd, and there will be media coverage. That coverage will be critical for us to send a message to the governments of Maine, New Hampshire, and the US as to the importance of our bridges. The more people taking part in the rally, the more forceful our message.

Here are the logistics for the rally:

Rally location: John Paul Jones Park, Kittery, ME
Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Time: Noon
Parking: On streets adjacent to JPJ Park, and at Autoworks, 107 Government Street.
