FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ANNUAL PHINEAS GAGE WALK & TALK
There are probably few readers in our area that aren't aware of Phineas Gage, the railroad foreman, who on September 13, 1848, had a tamping rod pass through his head as a result of a blasting accident, and lived for almost 12 years. Each year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the accident, the Cavendish Historical Society hosts a Gage Walk & Talk.
This year's Walk & Talk takes place on Sunday, Sept. 12 at the CHS Museum, Route 131 in Cavendish, VT. The program begins at 2 pm. Masks are required when in the museum.
The walk includes the location of the accident, Dr. Harlow's home/surgery, and the boarding house where Gage was taken after his injury.
The site of the accident is approximately three quarters of a mile from the Museum and by the time other sites of interest are visited and we return to the museum, you will have walked for close to 2 miles. Participants can stop at any time. It's recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com

I have two small electrical jobs I need help with. I had hired an electrician, but he withdrew after three months. I really would appreciate the help if you would like the work. Two quick and easy jobs but I cannot do them myself. Thank you. Joan 259-2773
