Weathersfield Weekly Blog Nov. 8

Weathersfield, Vt.
On Saturday, members of Weathersfield Select Board, The
Weathersfield Proctor Library Trustees, The Friends of Weathersfield Proctor Library, Alison Clarkson (Windsor County Vermont State Senator) and Annmarie Christensen (Vermont State Rep. for Cavendish and Weathersfield) hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking for the children's room expansion at the library in Ascutney. Funds for construction of the addition came from a Vermont state grant, a grant from the Byrne Foundation and from private donations. Construction was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Nov. 8. The expansion will extend the space of the existing children's room, provide space in the basement and add another entrance/exit to the original 1901 brick building located in Ascutney on Route 5.
I saw a delightful play at the Lebanon Opera House Saturday night, the Trumbull Hall Troupe preformed "Over The Moon."
