Our first stop this morning is an early lunch at the

generations later they are still frying clams but they also
serve a full menu of other seafood delights too. After our
early lunch we’ll be just minutes away from our leisurely
river cruise. We’ll have a 1 1/2 hour narrated tour on a
comfortable boat equipped with a canopy to protect us
from the sun as well as a restroom and bar.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE @ THE LEDDY CENTER
Wednesday, November 2nd
We’ll jump start the holiday season with this classic stage
production that centers around the life of George Bailey.
He spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the
good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But
in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal
over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations
of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clar-
ence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town,
family, and friends would turn out if he had never been
born. George meant so much to so many people; should he
really throw it all away? We’ll have dinner after the show at
Telly’s Restaurant in Epping.
Leave SS Center at 1:00pm and return approx. 4:30pm
Cost: $35.00 (Dinner $ on your own)
Includes: Transportation and Show ticket
