It is Hugh Langmaid's 75th this year (brother)

And this from Joe Hebert:

Pamela and I rescued a small Kayak floating in the middle of the main pond today about 6 PM. It is a "Walden Experience" combination purple and white and tied to our dock a 489 Old Homestead Road. The owners are welcome to retrieve it at their convenience!

Joe and Pam Hebert

I guess with all the rain we've been having the pond is a bit high. If any of you are not at camp and think something on your waterfront might not be secure, you may want to ask a neighbor to check on it for you. Thanks to folks like Pam and Joe who keep an eye on the water, most things get re-tied, rescued or beached with no damage done, but we should all remember that wind and rising water cause float-aways and can sink boats and motors, so be extra careful to be sure your toys are secure before you leave camp.

We have a busy weekend coming up. There will probably be lots of people around on the lake and on the highways. Be extra careful on the water or driving, and remember to be considerate of your neighbors.

Remember also that the fireworks are scheduled for Friday, July 3rd, if the rain holds off, and if not they will be on Sunday, the 5th. The Joe's Pond Association Annual Meeting is at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Be sure to get your luminaries at Hastings Store, from Diane Rossi, Pam Hebert, Diane Sherwood, Patty Rubalcaba or Sue Bouchard, and place them on your waterfront. We may need to do a sun dance to get a weather change. The good news is - it isn't going to be terribly cold, so if our sun dancing doesn't work we can still get out there and play in the water . . . it's called "swimming in the rain."

There will be some new events at Cabot's Annual 4th of July Celebration on Saturday. In addition to the parade at 11 a.m., the rummage sale, yard sales, BBQ and exhibits at the Historical Society, there will be a Lumber Jack Demonstration at 1 p.m. at the Recreation Field, plus a Pie-eating Contest at 1:30 p.m. and an extra special "anybody can do it" Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest throughout the day with the winner announced at 2 p.m. All the contests will be at the Rec Field at the north end of the village. Oh, yes, also new this year - Fried Dough!!
