In early 2017, a small group of Bedford residents began to gather weekly to share concerns about the polarized climate in our country. In a short time, and as the group grew, we came to the realization that there is so much more that unites the Bedford community than divides it and the idea for Bedford Get Together was born.
In October 2017, the Bedford community gathered at Edmund Street Park for the first ever Bedford Get Together—a grassroots event organized to bring neighbors throughout Bedford County together to celebrate our community’s shared values. Not only did the several hundred people who participated in this event have a great day but we also began to make connections to continue working together to create unity and care for one another. To that end, Bedford Get Together is planning a series of small-scale gatherings through the year, as well as another large community event on October 13, 2018.
