Hull Community Events

October 1-2.  L’histoire racontée par ses habitants (History as people have lived it). La Librairie Michabou, Aylmer’s recently established bilingual bookshop, which was burned down in the fire at the Glenwood Shopping Plaza, is organizing this event. It will be an opportunity to meet historical characters, storytellers, writers and ordinary citizens who travel back in time to share a piece of local history.  Stories will be presented in both languages.
Locations: Saturday October 1, Le Théâtre de l’île, Hull
Sunday October 2, Symmes Inn, Aylmer 
Both days from 2 pm to 4 pm.
