Why a picnic for Roscoe Fillmore?
Roscoe Fillmore was a figure that represented the values of community, equality and a socially-conscious life. Entrepreneur, writer, activist, gardener, political candidate Roscoe Fillmore was involved with a group of farmers, artists and like-minded folk back in the 1930s. The group was dubbed the Centreville Socialists and would congregate on Sundays, talking about the values of equality & community, singing political songs to the melodies of hymns, and imbibing host Jim Simm's hard apple cider under the shadow of the North Mountain. Maritime Radical was written about his life by his grandson Nicholas Fillmore.
