On Saturday, October 10th, at 10:00 AM-4:00 PM the Historical Museum will open doors to welcome the public for the annual Cider Days Celebration. Both the Perkins House and the Blacksmith Shop will be available for visitations. There are excellent exhibits in both Museums depicting Mount Holly life in earlier days along with the well known Vermont State terrestrial fossil, the Woolly Mammoth, whose tusk and molar found in Mount Holly in 1848 are on display. NOTE: The Museum will also be open on Sunday, October 11, from noon to 4 PM. Outside the Perkins House there will be a variety of items for sale: long sleeve jerseys with SPF50 protection, some short sleeve shirts and for cooler days regular crew neck and hooded sweatshirts. We also have some newly designed coffee mugs with Mount Holly sights, a delightful remembrance of Cider Days, 2026. For younger children we have some furry Woolly Mammoths and challenging woolly mammoth puzzles. For those interested in Mount Holly history we have a few copies of HISTORY of MOUNT HOLLY by Carroll R. Tarbell. Mr. Tarbell was born in the town into an old well known Mount Holly Family. The book, published in 1987, is illustrated with black and white photographs and maps. A second history book, written by James F. Holden, MOUNT HOLLY: ITS EARLY DAYS (in its third printing) is also available. For an extra treat, be on the lookout for a table selling Christmas decorations. There promise to be some fine deals to put you in the Christmas decorations mood! |

Ludlow Rotary Club Presents $3,050 Duck Race Proceeds to Plymouth Fire & EMS
LUDLOW, VT — September 29, 2026 — The Ludlow Rotary Club was pleased to present $3,050 to Plymouth Fire & EMS during the club's luncheon today. The funds represent proceeds from the 27th Annual Ralph D. Hogancamp Memorial Duck Race, held in August 2026.
The check was presented to Plymouth Fire Chief Jim Allen and Town Clerk Angela Kissell, recognizing the successful partnership between the Ludlow Rotary Club and Plymouth Fire & EMS in making this year's event a tremendous success.
This year's Duck Race reached an exciting milestone, with the combined efforts of Rotary members and Plymouth Fire & EMS resulting in the sale of all 1,000 ducks—a record for the club.
The annual Ralph D. Hogancamp Memorial Duck Race has become a much-loved summer tradition, bringing the community together for an afternoon of fun while raising funds that benefit local organizations and services.
The Ludlow Rotary Club extends a sincere thank you to Plymouth Fire & EMS, everyone who purchased a duck, the volunteers who helped with the event, and the community for its continued support. Selling 1,000 ducks was truly a team effort, and the results demonstrate what can be accomplished when local organizations and community members work together.
Congratulations to Plymouth Fire & EMS and thank you for the important service you provide for the Plymouth community.
The Ludlow Rotary Club is proudly celebrating its 100th year of community service. The club serves Ludlow, Plymouth, Cavendish and Mount Holly, supporting local organizations, community projects, scholarships and other initiatives that make a difference throughout the region.
