A new month is upon us and today, Monday is a bright and sunny day. I was gifted with a chairlift ride up Okemo yesterday and it seemed more like summer than autumn. Still no frost and temps are predicted to reach into the 70s – how glorious!

I understand that there will not be a Select Board meeting this week, so the next one is scheduled for 10/16. I know folks are anxious for news on the progress at the town building, so hopefully there will be an update at that time.

A friend and I walked up Patch Brook Rd and found Mike Sailer working hard to repair it. I knew this end by Dublin Rd had been fixed and the road has now been restored about halfway up.

Get ready to enjoy the Fall Festival activities taking place 10/7 from 10:00 to 4:00 (buildings will be open until 5:00) at the Coolidge Homestead.. There will be apple tastings, cider pressing, wagon rides, craft demonstrations, and an old-time band, the Stringfield Springers will be on hand. You are welcome to roam the grounds for free, although there is an admission fee to tour the buildings, but remember that Veterans and Active military are always free. 

You can continue your holiday weekend with the Town-wide tag sale on Sunday, 10/8 from 9am-6pm at the Community Center. It will take place rain or shine. For more information contact Lauren Skaskiw-Harootunian at 802-417-6895 to sign up and learn more.
