On June 3, 1944, Irish Coast Guardsman and Blacksod lighthouse keeper Ted Sweeney delivered a weather forecast by telephone from Co Mayo’s most westerly point. The report convinced General Dwight D Eisenhower to delay the D-Day invasion, potentially averting a military disaster and changing the course of World War II.
This sounds like fun!!
There is a professional ice-dancing company founded by Kittery resident, Douglas Webster, who is bringing some outside fun to Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth to give us a little bit, maybe even a lot of joy and happiness!
The performances will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday every weekend until February 5th at Strawbery Banke Museum. More details from their website, icedanceinternational.org here:
