Cambridge Happenings - An Experiment

Some of the items we include on our website are announcements of local events.  Our most recent examples are the Cambridge Fire Department Open House and their raffle.

As an experimental way to provide more of these notices, we have begun to place them on their own site - Cambridge Happenings.  Its address is:  cambridge.posterous.com.  Thus far we have the Cambridge Fire Department Open House, the Cambridge Fire Department Raffle, the Methodist Vacation Bible School, and the Cambridge Library Summer Reading Program.

We still will include some events here (and maybe there as well).  The meetings and other events of the Cambridge Historical Association will definitely be here, as will Cambridge Jubilee Days notices and coverage.

Please let us know what you think.  You can leave comments on this site (see below) or at Cambridge Happenings.  And if you have an upcoming local event we may have missed, please let us know about it.
