Riverton Grange members have been very busy with a number of both fun and impactful activities. We have expanded our new initiative called “Maker Sunday” to twice per month. On the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, members and guests will meet at the Riverton Grange hall to work on making homemade items. In April, attendees will be invited to make Quilt Squares for the National Grange Lecturer’s Contest. All are welcome to attend.
Our 31st Veteran of the Month ceremony will be held on Sunday, April 7th, at 6:00 PM at the Barkhamsted Senior Center, 109 West River Road. This event is primarily indoors, The new connector ramp constructed by Eagle Scout Candidate Gavin Lavallee to bridge the gap between the Prelli Memorial Handicap Ramp and the nearby road.
refreshments are served, and it is open to the public; so, come experience one of these awesome events honoring our veterans.
A celebrated tradition in Riverton is the annual Opening Day of Fishing, which this year will be held on Saturday, April 13th. Riverton Grange President Dave Roberts is again offering a FREE breakfast at the Riverton Vol. Fire Department to any Grange Member who wants to come between 8:00 – 9:00 AM. The fire house is located at 3 Riverton Road in Riverton (Barkhamsted, CT). This is a great fundraiser for the fire department and another way that Riverton Grange is supporting the community.
Recently, Riverton Grange unveiled a new plaque to honor Eagle Scout candidate Gavin Lavallee who constructed a brick connector walkway for his Eagle Scout project for our Riverton Grange Hall between Riverton Road Annex and the Prelli Memorial Walkway.
Starting in April, our meetings will again by hybrid (in-person and Zoom) and we would love you to come visit. A special shoutout to Connecticut State Grange Vice President Ted Powell who recently visited Riverton Grange Hall and presented us with this awesome antique plaque from National Grange. THANK YOU!
