Who would attend a presentation on Thompsonville on the second floor of Thompson Hall (the old Polish National Home) in late February?

I'm thinking beer/wine/local food (if I can get a one-day liquor license), with a short presentation on Tville history, and then a few quick-hit memory tests (suggested by Tom Heath) of photos of places that still exist and places that no longer exist.

Followed by three or four stories/photos of specific events that occurred that helped shape the village, which would allow for a free-flowing discussion between attendees and a panel of folks who grew up either in Tville or Suffield.

I'd like to end the event with a brief look at the future of the village, presented by Aaron Marcavitch (Director of Economic & Community Development for the Town of Enfield). It might be a nice way to celebrate the village's history while considering its future.

Let me know your thoughts below (and yes - I will be selling my Thompsonville Books there at a special price to raise money for the Historical Society -cash or credit card).
