Road Work and More

 Cabot Road Foreman Sid Griggs posted this Friday evening: 

Good evening everyone. Here is an end-of-week road update.

Jug Brook road is open to all traffic.
Houston Hill is open to all traffic.
Blodgett Road, on the class 4 section, was finished up today and is now open.

Please use caution as there is quite a bit of new gravel and it will be loose over the weekend.

There are still spots on West Shore Road, Sandy Beach Road, Urban Road, Whittier Hill, and Ducharme Road that will be tended to starting Monday.

Whittier Hill, Ducharme, and Sandy Beach all have culverts that need replacing, which means the roads will be closed for lengths of time. We will start Tuesday with road closures, and I will let you know Monday which ones and when as early as I make my mind up on how the week is going to go.

Thank you. Have a great weekend.

Old Home Day

at the Old North Church

Sunday, July 28th!

Special Events:

5pm Danville Town Band Concert

6pm Light Supper by donation

7pm Historical Talk by Toby Balivet

Old North Church Ornaments will be for sale at $10 each.

 This is all to help support the Old North Church painting project this year.

(Please help spread the word and invite family and friends to this truly unique enjoyable experience!)

As many of you know, the Old North Church is a beautifully preserved 1800s church where services are still held on and special occasions are celebrated during the summer months. It stands in a very rural setting and has no electricity, so going there is like stepping back in history some 200 years. If you cannot attend but would like to help support the painting project, contact the Danville Historical Society.

This morning is bright and brisk. My thermometer at almost 8 o'clock is showing 67F. The humidity is high again this morning, but there  is a bit of light ground fog, and that will disappear as the sun gets higher and stronger. It was disheartening yesterday when Gary Sadowsky, weather man on WCAX reminded us that the days are getting shorter now. Of course - summer is half over and we'll be into fall weather soon enough. Summers are short in Vermont - and this one has been anything but "normal" as far as weather is concerned. All the rain alternating with very warm, sunny days has kept us lush and green, and not much danger from wildfires. We seem to be getting a grip on handling our water problems, but some areas will never be the same after last year's flooding and the repeat performance this year - on the same day, no less!

Have a wonderful weekend, be safe and enjoy whatever you are doing with people you care about. Life is good, but sometimes cut short. Make the most of every day.
