groups will gather at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church then walk to the cemetery accompanied by
the music of The HubBub Club and visit gravesites for historic vignettes of the lives of six
dearly departed souls, finishing with home-made apple crisp, coffee and tea served at the
historic Burbank Farm Cottage. (Those attending the 5:00 performance in the amphitheater
