Other events for the day include dance demonstrations, “Touch a Truck”, and a Paint Party with the Norwich Art House.
The Lisbon Recreation Committee will once again host many kid and family friendly activities, including Bumper Ball! This was a huge hit at last year’s festival. What is Bumper Ball? Glad you asked! It’s a bunch of people running around wearing a big plastic inflatable ball and playing soccer. They often run into each other, bouncing off the other ball. Thus, “Bumper Ball!” It’s hilarious! Check out this video for a brief look at BUMPER BALL! https://goo.gl/V4CYQv Play or watch; it is sure to be a great time!
Chowder & Fritters, hamburgers, hot dogs and fries, popcorn, and refreshments will be available for purchase.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to step back in time with the Lisbon Historical Society at the John Bishop House, located next to the Community Center. Enjoy a guided tour, participate in some of their planned events, and try samples of their wildly popular open hearth cooking.
The event this year has over 30 local vendors, crafters, and artists. Meet the artists, crafters and vendors and do some early Christmas shopping. The Lisbon Fall Festival Committee is still looking for local artists and musicians. If you would like to participate, please contact Cyndy Goodwin Cockett at lisbonfallfestival@gmail.com.
