Poppy Project Unveiling
November 11th, 2018
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
This Veterans Day, Sunday November 11, marks the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I. To honor those Veterans, and all of our country’s Veterans, members of our Methuen Community (and beyond!) have volunteered their time and creativity in making this display of poppies. Please join us as we officially open the Poppy Project Art Installation at the Nevins Library to the public for viewing.
Over 2, 000 (!) knitted, crocheted, and felt poppies will adorn the WWI Memorial Tree in Methuen, the eagle sculpture in front of the Library, and the library interior.
We would like to thank the many, many people and organizations who helped support this project in different ways, including the VFW Post 8349 Auxiliary, the Lawrence Ladies Lodge of the Sons of Italy, the Essex Art Center, and the Methuen Senior Activity Center.
Refreshments will be available. The Art Installation will be available for viewing until Thanksgiving.
