Weathersfield Weekly March 1
February 1, 2017
Weathersfield, Vt.
Welcome back from February Vacation. As we put February behind us, our thoughts are turning to Spring Projects. Maple Sap collection, indoor seed planting, garden planning, spring house cleaning and paying our taxes. Taxes-speaking of taxes-town meeting is on Saturday, March 4 at the school. The weather looks good so far, clear but cold. If you cannot attend town meeting in person you can watch live on SAPA-TV (http://www.sapatv.org/). I'm hoping to attend but it's also Special Olympics Vermont (SOVT) weekend at Suicide Six in Woodstock-I photograph these athletes every year and have so much fun. Organizers are always looking for folks to volunteer if you have any time to give. But be prepared for some laughs and hugs. Maybe see you at the Winter Games or maybe see you at town meeting at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Weathersfield select board news: The select board will be holding the town portion of town meeting beginning at 1:30 p.m. at the school and will adjourn until Tuesday, March 7 at 10 a.m. for Australian Ballot voting at Martin Memorial Hall.
