Helen Morrison has asked me to put the following "thank you" here: 
 Kingdom Animal Shelter would like to thank all those who donated items to our Yard Sale on Feb. 27 and to those who came and browsed and bought.  We took in $2400.  That is awesome.  Your support is so wonderful.   Helen Morrison

 They really did a good job, or I should say, everyone who donated and worked on the fund raiser did a good job.  Well done!

You will find a couple more comments below about the noise heard last night.  When the state police followed up on our call, we were told they had checked with the Vermont National Guard were told there were no planes in this area at the time we heard the boom.  However, they were in the air last night until 11 o'clock, so were obviously flying in some area over northern Vermont so we heard the noise.  We knew there was lots of air traffic - we heard and saw helicopters going in  all directions, and could hear planes high in the sky.  I think it's safe to say it was our Air National Guard performing their training tasks.  Mystery solved!  A big thank you to all the people who commented here and sent emails to us about this.  It all sure put some excitement in our lives for a little while.
