Can anyone help us out here in
finding out who the owner of this dog in the video is. He was around
this same area last week also. He looks young and is either wearing a
wide collar or scarf. We are hoping to get him back to his owner. Does
he possibly wander without his owner being aware ? Either way.. we
need some help finding where he belongs. Linda and I feel he is new to
town.. we have not seen him til now.This pix was from today at 1:30. It is in Russellville close to the Sage House for a marker. Hit me back if you have any info. The temps will soon be dropping once again. Thanks so much. Betsy

Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce Launches the Okemo Valley Holiday Express!

In collaboration with Vermont Rail System, the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce (OVRCC) is excited to announce the launch of the Okemo Valley Holiday Express, a magical holiday excursion train and a highlight of the festive season.

On December 21st and 22nd, the Okemo Valley Holiday Express will take passengers on a scenic journey through the heart of South-Central Vermont, surrounded by breathtaking winter landscapes and the magic of the holidays. This special excursion train will offer five rides per day, filled with fun entertainment and festive cheer for all ages.

"We are excited to introduce the Okemo Valley Holiday Express to our communities and visitors," said OVRCC Executive Director Carol Lighthall. "This unique experience will bring holiday magic to life and offer another way to celebrate the season."

The Okemo Valley Holiday Express will depart and return to Chester Depot. The train ride features beautifully decorated train cars, festive music, and holiday-themed activities. Passengers can look forward to a special appearance from Santa Claus, hot cocoa and cookies, a holiday keepsake ornament, as well as lots of singing and caroling on board.

Mount Holly Recreation Committee Meeting Tuesday at 5:30 in the Historical Museum.

Everyone is invited to come. We are an informal group seeking ways to increase opportunities for recreation in our town. Our current emphasis is on identifying trails that can be used for walking or cross-country skiing. There are many trails here but some of us don't know exactly where to go. We plan to prepare maps and directions that can be shared with local residents.

We are also open to other ideas. I wonder whether we could do something to facilitate skating on Star Lake?

If you have ideas or questions and cannot attend Tuesday please send me an email.
