The New Ipswich Congregational Church delivered pies to the Greenville Food Pantry for distribution at Thanksgiving. This is an annual event. In 2022 they prepared 109 pies (the goal is 100 pies).
Interesting to see the team of horses pulling the wagon. My father related to me the first time a biplane flew over New Ipswich in the late 1920's. It was a big deal with all the tongues in town wagging over the event. It was akin to to the 1960's space launches.
