Tuesday, October 10 & 24 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM You’re invited to join the Grundy Walking Club! Participants meet at 1:00 PM on the second and fourth Tuesdays (October & November) for a one-mile stroll around historic Bristol Borough. We will meet inside the Library on the north side of the building (Youth area) before venturing outdoors. Remember to wear your sunscreen and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather. Escorted by a staff member, Club members will enjoy the scenery of the nearby Delaware River and the benefits of fresh air and exercise in good company. We’ll be striding the very streets walked by industrialist and U.S. Senator Joseph R. Grundy; Michael Dougherty, a U.S. Medal of Honor winner; and Averell Harriman, a ship manufacturer and WWII U.S. diplomat. A one-time 2023 signed waiver of participation is required to walk during these events. The waiver is available at each meeting date.
