Meryl Streep enjoys book at Breakwater Books in Guilford
When Hollywood came to Guilford last September it all made sense! Why wouldn’t Hollywood want to use our quintessential New England village for filming, even if the script said the location is in Maine? Well downtown Guilford was graced with the presence of Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as they filmed scenes in and around the Guilford Food Center and Breakwater books.
The folks at the Food Center and Breakwater wanted to celebrate the premiere of the movie “Hope Springs” by having a wine and cheese reception at 5:30 pm on Wednesday the 8th of August for all before travelling to Madison (East Guilford) to watch the movie at the Madison Art Cinemas.
They also invited the Historic Guilford Walking Tours along for a fundraiser and raffle highlighting local merchants, their goods, and services. So far many of our local stores, shops, and restaurants have donated special items and gift cards that folks can buy tickets for. To date, the tours have brought over 150 visitors to downtown Guilford for tours, dining, and shopping.
Please join us on the 8th at 5:30 pm at the Guilford Food Center for wine, cheese, and the fundraiser and at 7:15 as we travel to the Madison Art Cinema for the raffle drawing followed by the movie premiere of “Hope Springs”. Please purchase your tickets online at www.madisonartcinemas.com before they run out.

We would like to support the fund raiser by going to the wine and cheese party on Aug. 8 at 5:30. However, we cannot attend the movie premiere, due to prior commitments. Is it possible to attend just the 5:30 party?
