LOCAL ITEMS

When warmer weather gets here, you may not want to do much cooking. Here's a suggestion: The Cabot Church (on the Common) will be serving "Tuesday Night Steak & Cornish Hen Dinners" beginning June 14th. The menu is, your choice of either Cornish Hen or Steak (grilled or simmered) with baked potato, vegetable, salad, beverage and dessert. Thew will be serving from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., and take-outs are available. These dinners benefit the church, and a donation of $7.00 for adults or $4.00 for children under 12 is requested. You can make reservations by calling 563-2278, or get tickets at the door. Dinners will be held on June 14th and 28th; July 12th and 26th; August 2nd and 16th. The church is on Main Street in Cabot, Rt. 215.

Here's an idea - pick up dinner for the family and have a tailgate party on Cabot Plain across from the cemetery and watch the sunset. Or at least plan to go home over the Plain in time to enjoy the view as the sun sinks in the west over Camel's Hump, the Woodbury quarries, and the Worcester mountain range.

Eileen Morrison called to say there is an apparently lost dog on Channel Drive. She said it is a male yellow Lab, very friendly, seems to have manners, but no collar or tags. The dog "hangs out" at her place or the neighbors' and sometimes goes for a swim and then stays around for a bit. Sometimes they don't see him for a day or two, and he seems to disappear at night. Anyone know this dog? Perhaps he has a home and just likes to go down to Eileen's for a dip; or perhaps his folks work and he's looking for human contact for a few hours while they are gone. We've contacted the local stores to let them know in case someone is looking for their dog, the Danville Animal Clinic and the pound keepers for Cabot and Danville/St.Johnsbury. Since he doesn't bother anyone and seems healthy and friendly, the folks at the Animal Clinic suggested we not have him picked up right away. We sure hope he has a family and that's where he disappears to every night. We are waiting for him to show up at Eileen's again so we can take his picture to post here, but so far today, no word from her. Maybe he didn't feel like having a dip today!
