IT'S DAM INTERESTING!!! Cold River Restoration Projects
What is going on at the road to the Shrewsbury Mountain School ???l!! Why is the dam being removed? Won't it wash away the culvert below where it crosses Northam Road? And who is paying for all this work?
Find out the answers to these questions and more on Saturday morning June 27 at 10:00am when Katie Stiles, District Manager of Rutland Natural Resources Conservation District, leads us in a discussion about the ongoing dam removal and culvert replacement. We will discuss why dams are being removed and the importance of replacing our dated and ill-fitting culverts in the name of aquatic organism passage, water quality, flood resilience, and wildlife habitat!
Rutland NRCD is now reviewing the 2013 Cold River Corridor Plan in order to identify new projects and re-prioritize potential ones. Come armed with ideas for the future and a thoughtful mind for ecological discussion. Park at the transfer station and Town Garage area where we will meet at 10:00. Wear walking shoes as some construction will have already disrupted the earth and we'll also walk down to the culvert. |

Wally's Corner Find us at The Olde Barnyard5444 VT-103, Cuttingsville, VT 05738
Hi neighbors,
Just a quick heads-up that Wally's Corner will be closed Friday, June 26 through Sunday, June 28.
As many of you know, I've been on maternity leave these past couple of months, and it's hard to believe it's already coming to an end! Before I'm back in the shop full-time next week, our family is taking one last weekend to unplug, spend time together, and make a few special memories.
While the storefront will be closed, VIP Shopping is still available by appointment. If you'd like to stop by, just call or text (802) 772-0507, and we'll do our best to coordinate a time that works for you.
Thank you all for your kindness, patience, and support while our family welcomed sweet Birdie. Your encouragement has meant so much, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the shop full-time next week and seeing all of your familiar faces.
See you soon!
Hallie Wally's Corner |

Happy Friday, folks! Are you ready for the weekend?! We're looking at a mixed bag of weather this weekend — a few rain showers, foggy mornings, and a promise of sun peeking through. No matter what the sky decides to do, our farm stand is open and ready for business. Baked goods arrive Saturday! We'll have Andre & Claire's freshly baked bread on the table for you — 3 Bears Bakery has been providing us, and you, with their amazing breads for 6+ years now. And don't forget to stop in and see what special sweet treats Stevens Farm has in store for us this week. Everything is so yummy. Our London broil steaks are on sale through the weekend — 10% off. Grab a couple, one for dinner and one for the freezer. Marinate it, sear it hard and fast over high heat, pull it at medium-rare, then slice thin against the grain. That's the whole secret right there. Our freezers are fully stocked with Wilcox Ice Cream, both pints and 802 bars — so many flavors, so many choices! And right next to that freezer, you'll find Goodman's take-and-bake frozen pizzas, my favorite for those "I don't feel like cooking" nights. Farm fresh eggs, our very own maple syrup, honey, jams, vinegar, coffee, soaps, gifts, and so much more await you inside our farm stand. We invite you to stop and shop with us this weekend! We are open Wednesday through Sunday, 12:00 - 5:00, right here at 1966 Healdville Road. |

Liberty Tree At 9 am on July 4th, Ludlow's Liberty Tree will be dedicated on the High School lawn. The nations first Liberty Tree was an Elm tree in Boston Mass. When England imposed the Stamp Act, the Colonists declared "Taxation without representation", and the seeds of revolution were sown. The Elm tree served as a gathering place, and a witness to a new nation. Liberty Trees spread throughout the Colonies, and became symbols of resistance, community, and hope. The last remaining Liberty Tree was a 400 year old Tulip Poplar in Annapolis Maryland. It fell in 1999 from Hurricane Floyd. Ludlow's Liberty Tree is a White Oak, and it's being planted in recognition of our nations 250th anniversary, and Ludlow's 265th. It will stand as a symbol of Ludlow's rich history, and community spirit. Please join us as we dedicate the nation's newest Liberty Tree. |

250 ROCKS!: HEAR THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Two hundred and fifty years ago, many colonists learned about the Declaration of Independence by hearing it read at their local coffee houses. One of the earliest readings took place at the Merchant Coffee House in Philadelphia. People of all socio-economic statuses went to these houses for their favorite beverage, food and most importantly, the news of the day. The seeds of Revolution were planted in the coffee houses of the day. The Cavendish Historical Society (CHS), in conjunction with Super Roasted, located at 73 Depot Street-the coffee house in Proctorsville, will be re-enacting how many colonists first heard about the Declaration. A special reading will take place at 9 am on July 4th at SuperRoasted. A great way to kick off the nation's 250th birthday. Continuing the 250th party, CHS, with the help of community members Becky Plunkard, Shirley Clark and Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES) 6th graders, have been placing painted rocks throughout the town. You'll find them in the cemeteries, graves of Revolutionary soldiers, town parks, and various historic locations. The search begins July 3 and goes throughout the summer. Please take all the pics you want, but leave the rocks until the fall. All the rocks are painted red, white and blue with the exception of three. Honoring both the flag of the Green Mountain Boys and Vermont's first flag as an independent republic, it is now the official flag of the VT Army and Air National Guard. The flag is green with a canton (the rectangular emblem in the upper left corner) of blue with 13 white stars. See if you can find all three. For more information call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com |
