The Great Fire Exhibition

Joe, 

I would like to invite you & your readers to ‘The 2010 Great Fire Exhibition.’

The Great Fire Exhibit is a temporary museum display all about the fire that destroyed Salisbury in 1886.

There will be many interesting photos and artifacts on display including a piece of the bell that rang out the fire alarm 124 years ago.

This year we expect about 400 students from both public & private schools to visit the exhibit and learn something about our History.

The exhibit is located in the City Center building at 213 West Main Street, right next to Escape Restaurant.

Mayor Ireton & other local dignitaries will open the exhibit 5:00 pm this evening at a short opening ceremony and it will be open until 8 pm.

The exhibit will then be re-opened for several scheduled student groups and the general public from 9 am – 8 pm on both Thursday & Friday (which coincidentally is Downtown’s monthly 3rd Friday event as well.)

The exhibit is FREE of charge and appropriate for children ages 8 & up.

The Salisbury Fire Department, Nabb Research Center, Urban Salisbury, & Mayor’s office have all had a hand in organizing this event & I hope that you can make it.

Sincerely,

Joey DiCarlo

Exhibit Director
