Meet ‘Characters of Chester’ Sunday

This Sunday, at the Chester Meeting House, the Chester Historical Society will present another in its series of programs about the colorful "characters" who have called Chester home for their family and their business.

This winter's Characters of Chester will feature Harry Archambault, the founder of Archambault Insurance Agency; Shirley Miceli, the pharmacist and owner of Chester Pharmacy; Robbie Collomore, the owner of Robbie's store; John Dengler, owner of Dengler's Service Station; Jim Grote, Chester Hose Co. chief and fire marshal; and John Zanardi, the original proprietor of John Zanardi Oil Co., Inc.

Come learn the history of what made Chester such a special place to live and work. As with all Chester Historical Society programs, audience participation is encouraged. The society welcomes the audience's stories of these Chester characters. The program runs from 3 to 5 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
