Bedford Day

It’s that time of year again, Bedford Day.  A day where you learn all the things about Bedford you never knew.  There are kids, animals, trucks, food, and more.  I personally love the simultaneous joy of the children and the disappointment of the parents after the goldfish is won.  It’s always a lot of fun and I look forward to it every year.  But the “every year” part got me thinking?

What is the History of Bedford Day, how did it start and why?

So once again, off to the Bedford Historical Society to ask about Bedford Day.  It turns out the origins of Bedford Day are not all that clear.

Like most great traditions, things evolve.  There were several events that could be categorized as early Bedford Days.  But the modern incarnation is fairly recent.
