Johnville Celebrates 130th Anniversary– August 2nd

Johnville will celebrate the 130th anniversary of their picnic on Saturday, August 2, 2008 making it the longest running church festival in New Brunswick. To mark this milestone, several special events have been added to the program, including an open-air memorial mass and a play that chronicles the history of this rural farming community in western New

Brunswick. The outdoor mass will lead off this year’s picnic at 1:00pm and will be held in honor of Johnvilles’ early

pioneers. Festivities begin on the church grounds at 2:00pm when local performers step onto the outdoor stage and bingo is called under the big tent. Children’s Parade will be at 3:00pm, and a variety of games, crafts and food booths will be operating on the fairgrounds. There will be two showings of “The Road to Johnville” at 4:00pm and 7:00pm under the big pine tree, next to the church hall. The picnic supper– a tasty smorgasbord of salads, cold meats, homemade pies and desserts– will be served in the church hall from 4:00-7:00pm. Admission is $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for children 12 and under. Entertainment will continue through the evening, with a dance under the stars and fireworks display to bring this special anniversary celebration to a dazzling close.
