Hi Everyone,
I would like to know who is in charge of the Baptist Church Building? We are in need of a community center that is not within the confines, restrictions of the school. I can think of many activities that our community can enjoy together.....

We have such a cute town and I think it would be nice to be able to bring people together with fun things to do.
I'd like to see:
A town ice rink like the one They have in Westford...easy to do...with night skating, with heating fire in those big metal barrels.
Make more use of the walking/ ski trails in back of the school, by allowing horse back riding in Spring, summer and Fall. local stables could rent out the horses and would be a beautiful place to trail ride ( no, I don't ride...but I can dream can't I?)
Barn dances....Someone must have a barn we could use......what fun that would be!!!!!
These are some things I would love to have/ experience in our town......what about you?

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
If I may, I would like to recommend a very good and experienced pet sitter. Her name is Sheri Simon and owner The Pet Fairy.
www.thepetfairyvt.com. I have had the opportunity to use her services, and she is great! I had her come 3 times a day to feed and play
with my kitty Benny. pets are always more comfortable in their own home environment, and was not stressed at all. She stays 1/2 hour and writes a visit note each time ( I love that). She has a staff as well who walks and cares for your dog/s. It is well worth the peace of mind to all of us who love our animals. something to think about before you travel. I also like the fact that she makes an initial visit to you so she can meet you and your beloved animal before you go away. She's local, but will travel where she's needed.
my best,

It was when we were new to Vermont, about 6 years ago that we had the need to bring our beloved kitty to the Emergency Department. He was very sick and my husband and I were visibly upset. There was a man in the waiting room with his dog. He just sat and silently watched us as we waited for the Vet to finish his exam. I remember it was late at night, dark, and lonely. They decided to keep our kitty to see what they could do to save his life. The receptionist said the bill was 600.00. We didn't have the cash so we handed her our credit card. The man from Monkton walked up to the desk and insisted on paying our bill. We tried to tell him with our thanks that oh no he shouldn't do that. He wouldn't hear of it. He paid the bill without any hesitation.
I think of him, and I pray he has a blessed holiday. This Man from Monkton is an angel we will never forget. Our kitty crossed the Rainbow Bridge soon after that, and I'm sure he thanks him too. Merry Christmas to the man from Monkton.

hi all,
Can anyone recommend a "good" dentist who does dental implant? We saw two so far...the first estimated 3-4 thousand collards ( ouch)!!!
The second estimated 6,000.00. double ouch!! And that's for one tooth! OMG we could go on a European vacation for that...but can't eat!
Anyway, someone out there must have had an implant that's reasonable.
Much appreciate it for any suggestions.
My best,

Hi. All,
Went Gold Panning yesterday. It was a great day (outside).
It is Hard, hard work! Drove two hours South and set up camp
along Broad Creek. We went with a Guide who has panned for
3 years. He really knows his stuff. Alright... I'll tell you what you want
to know. None of us (7 people on the brook)
found anything but flour gold. Very small pieces or specks or flakes.
We were at it for 11 hours! Lots of Garnets... Not the gem type, but the kind
they ground up for sandpaper. Panny is very intense. You dig a whole with
a large shovel and fill a 5 gallon pail with the rocks and dirt. Then you fill your pan
and work it down to a tablespoon size in the pan. You use 4 different pans and
a strainer to do this. The gold, if any will be in there somewhere.
This is not a hobby in which you could hope to make money! Jim's been
at it for 3 years and has not uncovered an ounce.
Few have. Some are lucky enough to find nuggets, but it's rare.
There is Gold out there... Somewhere... It's under Big boulders and you have to dig deep.
The Guide worked very hard is a great instructor in panning.
He charges 80.00 a person for a day or a weekend. Pretty reasonable
considering you feel confident enough to go out on your own next time.
It was a great experience!

Hi there,
Did you know there is Gold in Vermont??? While you won't find nuggets the size of golf balls, there is placer gold and "picker" gold in Brooks, streams and rivers in Vermont. There is a guide from NH who will give you a day's worth of prospecting and even a weekend of fun! He says it's physical work but lots of fun. Am thinking about it. Good way to keep cool and dream your little dreams.

Hi Neighbors!
Yes I know it's Spring, and soon it will be hot, hot, hot. But I feel obligated to let you know how we saved thousands this winter!
It was all my son's doing. Last year we paid about $1,000.00 / per month for propane from Pyrofax for about 6 months. Ouch and double Ouch! This winter we made big changes. 1) we sealed all windows in clear plastic. ( cheap kits you can buy in hardware) 2) we replaced our wood burning stove with the best Harman pellet stove. Love it!!!
We bought wood pellets from Vermont Co-Op for about $279.00/ton. Free delivery. We used about 8 tons. $2,232.00. We bought a good 50gal electric water heater ( Craigs List, almost new for $75.00 ) .This allowed us to take propane out of the equation for heating the house water. Now propane is used Only for cooking on the gas stove! We bought Vornado electric heaters for rooms that needed a little extra heat. Very good reviews on these. Small and very efficient. Has built-in thermostat and heats up room within 1-2 minutes. Very safe.
Well that's it folks... Oh yes... We got $1500.00 energy tax break on the pellet stove.
We did save thousands!!!! I wanted to pass this information to you.
My best to you. I hope you too can save next winter!

Hello,
I'm new to forum, and I have a question or two or three.
Have you seen the Fairfax Falls fishing area? It is totally all
filled with rocks... No "beach area" anymore. Can't park there
anymore. No place to put in our kayaks. Will the town clear the
area? Should we have a community volunteer day to clear it
up? Where can we put in our kayaks??? I miss not being able
to go to the "park".
Suggestions/comments? Thanks
Nancyd
