Wondering what to do for vacation? Well, check out the June events below and all your questions will be answered. You can enjoy summer theatre, arts and crafts shows, historical tours and Bonnie Snow will take you on an amazing cemetery tour. You will even see where the Harding family has their family plot -- and then you can stay in one of the family home of Henry Harding, right here at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. Stay at a whaling captain's home and become a part of its history.

Baseball at its best is back and looking forward to a great season. Games for June are listed with time and place so you can plan to see your favorite team or teams. So don't forget to bring the peanuts and Cracker Jack.

Also, Father's Day is not far away. Give Dad a special time away (at the Inn).

Orleans will take on Chatham at the Orleans field. We will supply the blanket or beach chairs, and Dad can take a picnic supper to the game. Doesn't get much better.

Truro Treasures Weekend and Truro Winery Grape Stomp

GET READY FOR A FUN-FILLED WEEKEND IN TRURO!

Truro Treasures began in 1992 when several community members, most notably Betty Groom and Boo Houstoun, envisioned a fall weekend for children and adults to raise money to help save the Highland Lighthouse, and to promote community pride and interest in Truro. As a result, a non-profit organization, called Truro Treasures, was created to sponsor the event. Since then Truro Treasures has evolved and expanded into an annual fall weekend event that is crammed full of activities.

This year's theme is "Community Spirit", and the Lighthouse logo is reminiscent of the first Truro Treasures, organized to help raise money to preserve Highland Lighthouse.
