Snow: March To Come in Like Lion

Posted by Julia Carlisle in Vermont.

We are sure all the snow will be cleared and this Saturday, March 3rd will dawn bright and crisp in order to herald a large turn-out for Woodstock Town Meeting info con-fab at the Town Hall.

Town Meeting Day Voting is, as usual, on Tuesday, March 6th.

For those interested in hearing more about the A&B Motors ideas, which have been exhaustively explained and promoted (and questioned) already by various Woodstock Early Birds in a recent comment section, that topic is likely to raised as an extra item on Saturday’s agenda.

For Woodstock Villagers interested in hearing more and voting on the topic of Village Snow Removal you’ll have to wait just a bit longer for Village Meeting on March 20th.

On the most imminently important subject of snow (put away the gardening trowels folks and get out ‘yer big snow shoveling gear and also check books for our fave “plow guys” to make another pass)
