“2020: Shred It!”

“2020: Shred It!”

Please join us Saturday, December 26th, from 10-11:30 AM for “2020: Shred It!”, for a special event presented by the Truro Historical Society. We’ll provide paper and a shredder, and you’ll get a chance to write down why you want to say goodbye to 2020 and then drop your thoughts into the shredder. After ridding yourself of 2020’s bad karma, you’ll pick up a packet of seeds to serve as a fresh start for 2021. After ridding yourself of 2020’s bad karma, you’ll pick up a packet of seeds to serve as a fresh start for 2021.

Drop by the Cobb Archive at 13 Truro Center Road to participate. For more information, email Lauren Kaufmann at [email protected].
