A special annual treat for the Friends is our Summer Picnic, a time at which we all get together on the property to enjoy the fruits of our labors. At the 2007 picnic we had Greg Burroughs, a 21 year old vocal performance major at Berklee College, provide music for us. At the picnic Brian Yates announced that the legislature was likely to provide some funding for the Echo Bridge Restoration.
Karen Osborn-Shanley was the benefactor who made the appearance of Greg Burroughs possible, and at the picnic she was awarded the title of “Empress of Hemlock Gorge!”
