DESCRIPTION:A nostalgic return to the fun-loving days of historic Norumbega Park and the Totem Pole Ballroom to celebrate Historic Newton’s new book!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom its Grand Opening in 1897 to when the gates closed forever in 1963\, Norumbega Park by the Charles River in Auburndale was the ultimate destination for thrill-seekers and fun-lovers.

Enjoy beer\, wine\, and amusement park food — anybody up for cotton candy\, fried dough\, and ice cream? — in the beautiful\, riverside garden party setting as you’re treated to magic and acrobatic performances\, along with a chance to meet the book’s authors\, Sara Goldberg and Clara Silverstein. \nGeneral Admission tickets are $50 each for access to all food\, wine/beer\, and entertainment. \nIndividual Sponsor tickets are $125 each\, which includes an additional tax deductible donation to Historic Newton.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: Twisted Sisters - Killer Hurricanes of the 1950s
DESCRIPTION:Join Eamon McCarthy Earls for a wild ride as he dives into the history of the Twisted Sisters\, four storms – Carol\, Edna\, Connie and Diane – that hammered New England and the Northeast all in a period of 12 months during the 1950s. These storms brought devastating winds\, pounding waves\, record tidal surges and floods of nearly Biblical proportions! Today\, despite the massive seawalls and flood control projects built in the wake of the Twisted Sisters\, the question is\, will it happen again? \nEamon McCarthy Earls is an author of multiple books on regional history. He studied geology and history at UMASS-Amherst\, served for three years as a Town Council member in his hometown of Franklin\, Massachusetts\, and is now completing a law degree at George Mason University in Arlington\, Virginia. \nRegistration for this program will end two hours before the start time.
