11/8/26

Well, the weather has certainly shifted. Those warm sunny days were wonderful while they lasted – right into the beginning of November! Rifle season for white-tailed deer runs from 11/14 through 11/29. Of course that means the Bridgewater Grange will be having their amazing turkey supper on Sat, 11/14. Takeout dinners may be ordered until Friday by calling ‭(802) 672-3790‬. They need to be picked up between 4:30 and 5 PM. Those eating at the Grange will not be seated until 5:30.

If you are still craving more turkey, don’t forget the turkey dinner at the Plymouth town building on Saturday, 11/21 from 5 to 7 PM. Please call ‭(802) 500-1815‬ to make a reservation, so they can plan properly. According to Beth, meals can be delivered, too.

Tyson Ladies Aid held their regular monthly meeting last week with a delicious turkey dinner prepared by the members. Many boxes of tissues were collected for Gill Home residents and pantry staples for Black River Good Neighbor Services food shelf.

The 11/9 book discussion of Weyward by Emilia Hart will take place at 6 PM at Fletcher Memorial Library. It follows the live of three women of different centuries and the twists and turns that help and hinder them. Consider joining the Community Storytelling time at FML on 11/19 at 6 PM. Samara Anderson is hosting the event and will be encouraging participants to explore the art of storytelling and to share their creativity.
