A couple of notices tonight -
The Heberts on Old Homestead Road have retrieved a kayak that had apparently floated away. If you are missing one, give them a call - 802-684-3655. Pam says they'll deliver!

Notice has been given that the Danville Fair will go on as usual this year, but will be set up on the school property just off Route 2. The Green just isn't going to work with all the construction going on. It will be safer and more fun at the school. The dates for the fair are August 12 and 13. Everything else, vendors, games, etc., will be about the same as any previous year except events normally held in the gazebo will be in a tent. A new company will be providing rides - Dreamland Amusements, and Ken Linsley, Danville Chamber of Commerce president says they should be better than ever.

We had a dramatic "rescue" on the pond this afternoon when a Sunfish sailboat overturned and Bill Rossi was the "on duty life guard." We don't have many details, but we do know nobody was injured. Bill was characteristically humble about his quick response. He said he waived his usual fee since the woman he "saved" was cooking spaghetti for him tonight.

I was in Cabot this afternoon. The cleanup after the May and June flash floods is looking good there. The street and sidewalk between the stores is repaired, and also the road between the garage and Willey Hall, but there is still work to be done in the back and along the side of the garage near Tim Gochey's residence. The walkway in front of Tim's will need to be redone. Most of the road over the Plain has been repaired so now cars can meet without worrying about dropping into a washout. I saw Dave Pike at the town offices and he said they are getting caught up and hope to have everything back in order very soon. His comment was, "We sure didn't need that." The first big storm on May 27th was bad enough, but then a week later we had another heavy rain that took out all the material the road crews had just used to repair the May damage. Tough year for Cabot and lots of surrounding towns.
