I intended to include the following announcement in my last blog, but I think I was hurrying to finish because I was hungry - or maybe tired. It happens.
Here it is, from Chelsea Hewitt: (This sounds like a really fun new activity that has something for everyone. Joe's Ponders - take note!)

The first few
weeks of the new and improved market have been a rousing success and a
wonderful time to gather with our fellow community members. If you
haven't stopped by yet, please come and check us out!
Just a quick personal note - I ran into a bit of difficulty this morning out on my back lawn. My indoor weather station has not been registering recently. Actually, the whole darned weather station has been really wonky ever since the components needed a battery change. Normally, replacing the batteries goes pretty smoothly, but not this time. Now sometimes everything shows up on the indoor display screen as they should, other times, only indoor temperature, the date and time show up. The wind thing has not been registering for quite a while, but during snowy, rainy weather I didn't want to go out by my pond to retrieve it to replace the batteries. So this morning when I was doing a walk around my pond, I decided to take a look at the wind gauge to see what tools I'd need to take it down and bring it in. Almost immediately, as I approached the post which has on it a bat house (that no bats go near!) and a bird house (that I wasn't sure was being used) in addition to my wind gauge, I was suddenly a target for two very angry swallows. They literally came out of nowhere. They dove so close to my head I could feel the breeze from their wings. I lost no time getting away from there, but they followed me all the way to the porch, diving at me and screeching. I guess I will leave the wind thing alone until their baby swallows have fledged! Lesson learned: Don't mess with angry bird parents.
On
July 1st from 3:30-7pm on the town green we will have 15+ vendors, tons
of kids activities + bounce house, cookout with NEK Catering - smash
burgers, hot dogs & corn on the cob plus Miracle Mary's serving up
hot paninis! There will be a kids decorating party from 4pm-4:45pm with a
parade to follow at 5pm - kids are encouraged to bring their bikes,
scooters, wagons or anything they can parade with!
