6/30/25

The end of June and it is difficult some days to tell whether summer has arrived. Seems to either be cold and damp or sweltering and humid. We have enjoyed the several lovely days in between, however. Sunday evening I attended The Sound of Music performance by BarnArts on Rose Hill. It was delightful, the weather perfect, and the view spectacular. It was also fun to see Plymouth youngsters Josie and Julia Flaster in prominent roles as two of the children. The acting and the music were just wonderful. Sorry if you missed it!

There is so much going on at the Calvin Coolidge Homestead this weekend. Please refer back to the 6/16 issue for all the details. It appears that the weather will be good with clear skies, lower temps, and less humidity. Don’t forget you can cool off at Camp Plymouth State Park, too.

Folks might want to check out the minutes from the 6/12 Select Board meeting for info about town finances. Also, keep in mind that intensive bridge work being done on Rte 100A is scheduled to begin on 7/7, meaning there will be no through traffic to Rte 4 for possibly over a month.

On Thursday 7/10 at 10:30 AM “Friends” of Fletcher Memorial Library will presentJames by Percival Everett. I have not finished this reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but so far it has been intriguing especially since it is told through a slave’s perspective. Everyone is welcome, even if you have not read it. It is also nice and cool in FML community room!

VINS, the VT Institute of Natural Science will be at FML on Friday, 7/11 at 1 PM with their Color Our World program.  In partnership with the Vermont Summer Reading Program, meet three of our animal ambassadors, and learn how nature’s palette can startle, impress, and even fool the eye! Witness the rainbow of techniques our wildlife uses to hunt, hide, and survive in this 45 minute program geared towards families and children of all ages!
