Come Home Year
Botwood Come Home Year
Home Again – 2010!
The Come Home Year Committee is thrilled to be hosting a multifaceted celebration in 2010. Not only is it Come Home Year, but we are also celebrating 150 Years of Settlement and 50 Years of Incorporation!
We are truly planning a Come Home Year, with events being planned throughout 2010. However, because we recognize that many of our former residents will want to take part we will be organizing a jam-packed festival from July 23-August 2, 2010. Botwood Day on August 2nd is sure to be an outstanding time!
Whether you live right here at home, or will be travelling to be with us, we guarantee a fantastic time will be had by all!
