The 1st annual Nonantum Village Day is progressing very well through the many presentations, documentations, & approvals, through the various government committees. Who knew... What ever happen to "Hear Ye, Hear Ye lets gather in the village". We have gotten a great response from local and surrounding village vendors. So it looks like we are going to have a Great Time. I have worked very hard at making the process run smoothly. All vendors, businesses, and residents who have submitted a registration form to me will receive information 1 week before our event to solidify what you are going to be doing for Village Day and instructions on what to do the day of.
To reiterate: Village Day is to bring camaraderie to the neighborhood, and to promote businesses in this Village. We have gotten a permit to block off Watertown Street from the corner of Dunking Donuts ( Adams Street will remain open ), to the west corner of West Street (at LaSposa Bridal Shop). That is the area our insurance, and permits for land-use covers. The street will be blocked off from 9:30 to 3:30 on June 3rd. Please contact me if you have any questions concerning vendors, information, or questions. It's not to late to register... I have a couple of prime spots still open.
Right here in Nonantum, on Watertown Street - there could have been two deaths!
While walking from the post office a young woman bolts out of a store-front door and rushes past me. She runs up the street clicking her automatic key fob to unlock the doors of an SUV parked three cars up the street at a meter. In the car is a small child an a toddler!
Were the children sleeping when she arrived to run her errand? Was she only going to be a few minutes? Who knows the answer. She ignored me when I told her that leaving her children in a locked, parked car, with the windows up, ( in the sun ), was a bad idea.
I know as adults we don't like to be told the obvious - but; PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN IN A PARKED CAR - EVEN FOR A MINUTE.
I have done CPR on a child - an experience I NEVER want to repeat!
