Weathersfield Weekly Blog, July 5
July 5, 2017
Weathersfield, Vt,
We are a week into July and I'm still wondering where June went. It seemed like it mostly just rained and was dreary through June, which kind of stinks because our good weather months are so short up here in the great white north. Fingers crossed for a warm, sunny July. Hope you all had a happy and safe Fourth of July. I certainly got my fill of fireworks, I think I hit four town's displays. Cheers.
Last Thursday night I hit the Feast and Field Farmer's Market, not so much to shop but to hear Lula Wiles perform. But next time I go, I'm bringing M-O-N-E-Y to shop. The wine, the meats, the chesses, THE ICE CREAM, oh my.

Saturday, in the pouring rain, I traveled to Woodstock to cover Sculpturefest 2017 for the Vermont Standard. Most of the artists and few guests attended the opening reception.

Sunday, I covered Reading Old Home Day, which dates back to 1901 and has been hosted for the last 42 years by the Reading Fire Department for the Vermont Standard. The day included a parade, a chicken BBQ, an ox pull and the Duck Derby.
