There is an article about our museum's mammoth tusk and Cider Days. There are many places to pick one up in the Rutland area. I can find them in Hannaford near the weekly papers and Sugar and Spice on Route 4 in Mendon.

We hope to see you there – come join the fun! Pictured from last years Chili-Cookoff are many of the hundreds of visitors who received "taste checks" from the more than 25 different chili concoctions prepared by area businesses, groups, and individuals. The chilis varied from well-seasoned Tex-Mex versions to a vegetarian one with a variety of dishes in between. To enable each participant to fully enjoy the taste of each chili, cider was available to clean the palate with ice cream at the conclusion. | | |
